Harassment Case Involving Jenny Prompts OCR Action
Jenny, 16, faced ongoing harassment from a main male student, with parents quoted as tiring of the conduct. A March 1993 meeting failed to quell the abuse, drawing in public officials. The OCR concluded in March 1994 the matter was resolved, with corrective actions to educate students and parents. Jenny remains in therapy as she recovers from freshman year trauma.

Cedar Rapids Seed Co. and other city purchases are under review. The city plans a purchasing policy overhaul and exclusive use of high pressure jetters. Public education on grease handling will be boosted with Renaissance Group and health department involvement.
