"After learning of Trent Bahadursingh's anger towards her, she no longer felt safe to return to work. Maya said she heard from a coworker that Bahadursingh called her the 'P' word because she went on medical leave, according to the suit filed on Feb. 9 in Santa Clara County Superior Court."
"The complaint advances sweeping allegations and claims across multiple legal theories, which the district categorically denies. These types of broad accusations can create immediate reputational harm to the multiple number of staff members and the district. We are confident that the full facts, history and context will not support the claims made."
"Maya said she was micromanaged by Vicky Lao, executive assistant to the school board, even though Lao wasn't her boss. Lao allegedly yelled, screamed and cursed at Maya on several occasions and former Superintendent Don Austin had to get involved in September 2018."
Victoria Maya, who worked as an administrative assistant to the superintendent at Palo Alto Unified School District, filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County Superior Court alleging workplace bullying and harassment. Maya claims she heard that Bahadursingh used a derogatory term to refer to her after she took medical leave, causing her to feel unsafe returning to work. She also alleges micromanagement and verbal abuse from executive assistant Vicky Lao, including yelling and cursing. Maya filed a formal complaint with former Superintendent Don Austin and HR in October 2019. The district categorically denies the allegations and states it will explore all legal options.
