Sacchetta | Sacchetta & Baldino PHILADELPHIA – A Chester County woman continues to stand by her claims that a local school district did not warn her that she was assigned to work with a student who had shown violent behavior, and as a result, that student attacked and injured her. Hieshia LeGrande of Phoenixville first filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Jan. 7 versus Downingtown Area School District and Downingtown Area School Authority of Downingtown, plus Lionville Middle School, of Exton. “Plaintiff was sent to defendant Lionville Middle School and subsequently assigned to help a 7th Grade student at the defendant school. Defendants knew or should have known of the student’s dangerous propensities, behavioral issues and violent tendencies. Despite this knowledge, defendants failed to warn or alert plaintiff of same,” the suit said.
