For the first time in several years, the Webster County School District will soon be litigation free. At Monday night’s board meeting, board members voted unanimously to settle a law suite between former employee Polly Dunbar and the Webster County School District.

Dunbar filed suit against the district on September 20, 2010, and the district filed a counter suit on April 21, 2011. Dunbar and her attorney  will be paid the sum of $10,000 to settle all claims. Both parties will then both execute Agreed Orders dismissing both law suits.
