Stoughton School Committee to Discuss Status of STA Lawsuit Tuesday

The Stoughton School Committee meets Tuesday night, and among this week's agenda items will be a discussion of the recent class-action lawsuit filed against the town by the Stoughton Teachers Association. 

Earlier this month, the STA filed a class-action lawsuit against the town of Stoughton and the School Committee for non-payment of wages, claiming that a withholding of step increases is in violation of the state's General Laws. 

The lawsuit names the town of Stoughton, the Stoughton School Committee, Stoughton Superintendent Marguerite Rizzi and Town Manager Michael Hartman as defendants.
