| School district was negligent in Santana shootings, claim says By Greg Moran UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER March 13, 2002 EL CAJON – The families of two students killed during a shooting rampage at Santana High School have sued the school district, saying officials failed to detect warning signs in the behavior of Charles "Andy" Williams. The lawsuit, filed last week by the families of Bryan Zuckor and Randy Gordon, accuse the district of negligence and wrongful death stemming from the March 5, 2001, shootings. Zuckor, 14, and Gordon, 17, were killed during a 10-minute shooting rampage that began in a boys bathroom on the Santee campus just before 9:30 a.m. Williams, who had just turned 15, was arrested after he was subdued by three police officers who rushed into the bathroom. Thirteen other people were wounded in the shooting spree. Williams is facing charges of murder, attempted murder and assault with a firearm. He has pleaded not guilty and has been held at Juvenile Hall since his arrest after the shootings. The suit contends that the Grossmont Union High School District did not observe that Williams was having behavior problems and that it was negligent in failing to intervene and address those problems. Kenneth Hoyt, the attorney representing the families, said that in the weeks and months before the shootings Williams was missing classes and his grades were slipping. "Andy Williams exhibited signs and symptoms of a troubled person," Hoyt said. "When you have a student who is missing excessive days and whose grades have dropped remarkably, these are red flags and there needs to be some intervention. We believe that the school should have procedures in place." Williams, who was a freshman at the time, had just moved to Santee and had been in school for only a few months. His defense attorneys have said he was the victim of frequent bullying by others at the school. District Superintendent Granger Ward disputed those claims, saying the attack was a criminal act by someone who brought a gun to campus and shot students and staffers, and that's where the ultimate responsibility lies. "It is unfortunate that the perpetrator of this crime is not the focus, and that's where the focus should be," said Ward, adding that he was limited in commenting about the allegations because of the lawsuit. Based on the district's own review last year and information from the District Attorney's Office, there is no evidence that Williams was bullied at school, he said. "What excuse would there be for harming and shooting others?" Ward added. "There is no excuse for that." The lawsuit was filed one day after Hoyt filed a separate suit against Williams and his father, Jeff Williams. That suit also made wrongful-death and negligence allegations. Staff writer Jill Spielvogel contributed to this report. |

A 2nd victim's family files claim in fatal
Santana High shooting
By Jill Spielvogel
SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
September 6, 2001
The family of a 17-year-old student killed during the March shooting at
Santana filed a legal claim against the Grossmont district yesterday,
saying it should have taken measures to prevent the rampage.
Mari Gordon-Rayborn, the mother of slain senior Randy Gordon, filed the
claim for the "irreplaceable loss of a son and brother." She seeks the
maximum amount the district's insurance will allow in damages.
The claim does not make specific allegations other than the assertion that
the district should have taken action to prevent the accused student from
opening fire on the Santee campus. Charles "Andy" Williams, 15, is
charged with shooting and killing Randy Gordon and 14-year-old Bryan
Zuckor and wounding 13 others.
Gordon-Rayborn declined to comment.
Grossmont Superintendent Granger Ward said, "We had an unfortunate
incident this past March where a young man was involved in a criminal act,
and that's where the responsibility lays." He declined to say more, citing
pending litigation.
On Aug. 22, trustees rejected a claim filed by the family of Bryan Zuckor,
which also asked for the maximum amount allowed under the district's
insurance and did not make specific allegations of wrongdoing. With the
board's decision, the Zuckor family has six months to file a lawsuit.
Trustees have 45 days to act on Gordon-Rayborn's claim.
The school district's attorney, Dan Shinoff, could not be reached for
comment yesterday.
When the Zuckor family filed a claim, Shinoff called the shooting
an unforeseeable criminal act and said the district was not
culpable. There would have to be evidence of liability for the
district to pay damages, he said.
The district must pay the first $100,000 on any settlement or judgment
from its own budget and has insurance coverage of up to $14 million
beyond that.
State law allows six months to file a claim, and yesterday marked six
months since the March 5 incident. So far in the aftermath of the Santana
shooting, the district has only received claims from the families of the two
students who were killed.
The family of a Granite Hills freshman injured when a student opened fire
there March 22 filed a claim against the district in May alleging the school
was negligent in allowing the shooter to come on campus with guns.
Trustees rejected the claim, which sought $250,000 in damages.

The Bully Blight
The Bully Blight
Apr. 11, 2005
By MICHAEL D. LEMONICK
Like most of her classmates at
Washington High School in
Milwaukee, Wis., La Shanda
Trimble, 18, is attentive to
fashion trends; it's the
particular trend she chooses
that sets her apart. She's a
Goth, wearing black lipstick
and nail polish, listening to
bands like Linkin Park and Rob
Zombie rather than rapper
Nelly or R&B star Ciara. She
likes to wear her hair in pigtails
instead of the more popularly
accepted braids. The other
kids don't approve. "They think
I should act like them,'' says
the 11th-grader. "They like me
to listen to rap and pop and
wear, like, brand-new shoes."
For these stylistic
transgressions, Trimble is
routinely punished. "I'd be
walking down to a class, and I'd
hear murmuring, and
somebody would say, 'She's
going to put a spell on you.'"
One boy rode a broom into
class to mock her; another
called her ugly and crazy.
Finally, one day last month,
she couldn't take it anymore. "I
started crying uncontrollably,"
she says. She's behind in her
classwork now because she
avoids going to school
whenever she can.
Bullies have lurked in hallways
and on playgrounds ever since
history's first day of school,
and until recently, dealing with
them was considered just
another painfully useful life
lesson. But that attitude is
changing. In 2002 the
American Medical Association
warned that bullying is a
public-health issue with
long-term mental-health
consequences for both bullies
and their victims. Just last
month UCLA researchers
published two new studies
showing that bullying is much
more widespread and harmful
than anyone knew.
During a two-week period at
two ethnically diverse Los
Angeles middle schools, says
Adrienne Nishina, a
post-doctoral scholar at the
UCLA Graduate School of
Education and Information
Studies, nearly half the 192
kids she interviewed reported
being bullied at least once;
even more said they had seen
others targeted. Also
important, says Nishina: kids
are frequently as distressed by
witnessing bullying as by being
bullied.
Why bullying exists isn't entirely
clear, but another study
published last week in the
Archives of Pediatric and
Adolescent Medicine attributes
it at least in part to excessive
television viewing. (Perhaps
time spent in front of the tube
is time spent not learning social
skills.) But bullying existed long
before TV, and while this may
help explain the persistence of
the problem, it doesn't do much
more.
Whatever the reason for
bullying, the consequences are
clear. Nishina found that
victims feel sick more often
than their classmates do, are
absent more often and tend to
have lower grades. They are
also more depressed and
withdrawn--a natural reaction,
says Nishina, but one that "can
subsequently lead to more
victimization." The studies also
indicate that schools take too
narrow a view of what
constitutes bullying. Physical
aggression is forbidden, as are
such forms of verbal bullying
as sexual harassment and
racial slurs. But the rules are
generally silent about less
incendiary name calling.
"You're probably not going to
get into trouble if you call
someone fat or stupid," Nishina
says. "But our research
suggests victimized students
felt equally bad."
She also classifies
nonphysical, nonverbal
behaviors, including gestures
and making faces, as bullying.
"They happen quite a bit and
can have an effect as well,"
Nishina says. "But they're very
subtle and very difficult for us
to capture and assess well."
Even tougher to assess is the
growing phenomenon of
cyberbullying--vicious text
messages or e-mails, or
websites on which kids post
degrading rumors. A recent
survey of more than 5,500
teens found that 72% of them
said online bullying was just as
distressing as the face-to-face
kind.
The damage from bullying
doesn't stop after graduation.
According to Dr. William
Coleman, professor of
pediatrics at the University of
North Carolina School of
Medicine, bullies are four times
as likely as the average child to
have engaged in criminal
behavior by age 24; they also
grow up deficient in social,
coping and negotiating skills
and are more likely to engage
in substance abuse. Victims
have similar problems; they
also have fewer friends and
are more likely to be
depressed.
Since most bullying takes place
furtively--in hallways,
bathrooms, the back of the
school bus--teachers have a
hard time controlling it. It's not
impossible, though: with the
help of Nishina's UCLA adviser
and study co-author, Jaana
Juvonen, a local elementary
school put together a program
in which teachers, parents and
students review antibullying
rules at the start of each year.
The students do role-playing
exercises and sign contracts
promising not to bully.
Teachers incorporate lessons
about bullying and coping
strategies into classwork. The
school has also hired extra
staff to monitor places like
lunchrooms and playgrounds.
A program like that might have
saved a lot of trouble for the
Darien, Ill., public-school
system. Last October an
eighth-grader who was
allegedly harassing Joey
Urban, now 14, wound up
rupturing Joey's eardrum with a
poke from a lollipop stick. The
Urbans are suing, complaining
that the attacker received only
a three-day suspension. The
school district says that the
boys were friends and that the
injury was an accident that
occurred while they were
roughhousing.
La Shanda Trimble won't have
to resort to the courts. Next
year she'll be attending the
Alliance School, founded to
create a safe atmosphere for
students who feel unwelcome
in traditional settings. Says
co-founder Tina Owen, an
English teacher: "A lot of adults
think 'Sticks and stones may
break my bones, but words will
never hurt me.' But these
students seemed to be hurting
really bad." --Reported by
