At Xavier Charter School in Twin Falls, Idaho, a significant incident occurred involving a former special education student who filed a $5 million tort claim alleging repeated acts of unlawful sexual activity and abuse by an older female student during the first few months of 2023. Most of these acts reportedly occurred on a school bus and school grounds. The female student was 17, and the male student was 14, legally unable to consent. The claim states school officials failed to protect the student from foreseeable sexual harm and failed to alert his parents. The case went through juvenile court, with the female student initially agreeing to counseling and prosecutors accepting a diversion plan, though this has since become an active case again. Xavier Charter School's Head of Schools declined to comment on the claim. This situation is part of multimillion-dollar claims in local school districts related to sexual abuse incidents.
