Feb. 10--A former Burbank Unified School District employee, who alleged in a lawsuit that she was sexually harassed and retaliated against by a manager, publicly criticized the district's handling of the decade-long case at last week's school board meeting.
"Whether or not you believe me," Danielle Baez told the board members, "the message that's being sent to women in our community, to young women that are joining the work place for the very first time, is that if you are sexually harassed while working in a hostile work environment, the message you send while dragging somebody through a 10-year legal battle, is to shut up and go away."
