WATERVILLE, Wash. (AP) — A high-school math teacher of Chinese descent who sued the Waterville School District for discrimination has agreed to resign in exchange for about $430,000.
The Wenatchee World (http://is.gd/NmTpg2 ) reports Jim Zhu (zoo) and the district agreed to the settlement earlier this month.
His attorney says Zhu will receive the equivalent of more than three years of pay, before attorney fees.
The school district has issued a statement that denies liability for any discrimination and confirms the financial settlement for his resignation and an agreement to dismiss all claims against the district.
