The civil rights lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, also alleges that a school security official failed to point out the cameras to a state criminal investigator who was searching for hidden cameras at East while investigating an unrelated criminal case that also involved hidden cameras.
The parents, Patanne Coffey and Anna Hauser, also filed an open records lawsuit against the district last year alleging the district was dragging its feet in turning over records about the discovery last year of two cameras that were placed in rooms at East where they would have captured students with disabilities having their clothing changed.
