A former student of a Utah teacher accused of engaging in sexual affairs with several of her students has brought suit against the school district that hired her, alleging that the district is responsible for emotional trauma caused by the encounters.
The former student, who was seventeen at the time of the sexual encounters with thirty-five-year-old Brianne Altice, is seeking $674,000 in his lawsuit.
Altice faces fourteen felony charges related to her sexual activities with at least three students. Her sexual encounters with one student occurred “while she was out on bail for charges relating to the first two students,” according to the Daily Mail. A judge revoked Altice’s bail in January, and she remains in jail awaiting her next court date.
In his lawsuit, Altice’s former student alleges that his relationship with Altice started out as classroom flirtation, followed by an exchange of text messages, kissing and then sex. The school district knew about Altice’s behavior, he alleges, because it reprimanded her after discovering photos showing her engaging in inappropriate contact with students.

Last week Charlotte’s City Council voted against an ordinance that supporters said would have ended sexual discrimination. Opponents of the ordinance—many of whom turned out to comment publically at the council’s meeting on the issue—said interest groups behind the proposed ordinance want to “force their idea of gender” on the public.
The most controversial part of the ordinance “would have allowed transgendered people to go into any public bathroom they chose,” according to Charlotte’s WSOC-TV. That language was removed from the proposed ordinance prior to the council’s vote, leading ordinance supporters like council member John Autry to vote against the proposal. The bathroom portion of the ordinance was too important, Autry told WSOC-TV, to leave out.
Many private companies, including New Hampshire-based Planet Fitness, allow transgendered persons to use facilities of their choice.
Last week, a Michigan woman—Yvette Cormier—complained to Planet Fitness staff at the company’s Midland, Michigan location that she witnessed a man changing in the woman’s locker room on two occasions. According to the Daily Mail, Planet Fitness staff members told Cormier that the individual was transsexual and was permitted to use the woman’s locker room.

A parcel placed in the mail is just that: placed. Placement in a mailbox does not guaranty delivery.
Of course, most—maybe all—postal services provide a “guaranteed” service. Ask any lawyer the meaning of “guaranty,” however, and one is liable to hear a list of hypotheticals in which the guaranty is broken. Things get lost in the mail. It does not happen often, but it happens.
We live in a society in which people and businesses have the ability to engage in the near-instantaneous exchange of communications and documents.
The law is catching up. Many county Registers of Deeds in North Carolina now accept online submission of deeds and other legal documents. Clerk’s offices in the state’s judicial circuits are moving in that direction. Much of appellate and federal-court filings are made online.
Most lawsuits, however, are still filed in person, whether by litigant, by attorney, by paralegal, clerk, or courier. And some holdouts still rely on the good old mail service.
