A Michigan teacher claims she was fired after school administrators ignored her reports that she was being sexually harassed by special education students — including one teen whose lewd behavior “creeped [her] out.”

Melissa Sawicki, 36, filed a lawsuit in US District Court in Bay City in September, alleging sexual discrimination and retaliation for protected activity on behalf of Bay City Public Schools and the district’s board of education, MLive.com reported on Tuesday.

Sawicki claims special education students began making crude and lascivious comments to her — some even directing obscene gestures to her — shortly after she started her job in the district at Bay City Western High School in 2013.

The teacher alleges that in her first weeks at the school, a 16-year-old male student unbuttoned his shirt and began rubbing his nipple in front of her. She sent the boy to the office, but his behavior was “essentially disregarded,” according to her lawsuit.

Months later, in January 2014, the same student waited for Sawicki after class and “cupped his hand under his chest as if he were holding breasts, and said, ‘I want to talk to you about your melons,’ while he stared at Ms. Sawicki’s chest,” the lawsuit continues.

Sawicki reported the incident to the assistant principal, John Folsom. The student was ultimately given a one-day suspension — a punishment Sawicki said didn’t suffice, because the teen had “creeped [her] out.”

Sawicki said she then met with Folsom and principal Judy Cox to inform them she didn’t feel comfortable around the teen due to his “continuous sexual comments,” but neither administrator seemed receptive to her concerns, according to the lawsuit.

No one took her complaints seriously, Sawicki argued.

“The response she received to these concerns is that (he) is ‘just a silly kid without a filter,'” the suit alleges. “Ms. Sawicki was also asked, ‘You don’t think he could be a threat, do you?’ The question was posed in a way that clearly indicated that Administration did not believe him to be a threat.”

Prior to the incidents, Sawicki had received “effective” work evaluations, but those scores dropped to “minimally effective” in March 2014. Sawicki claims Folsom and Cox told her she had sent too many students to their offices, which had a negative impact on her internal review.

Cox eventually told Sawicki in 2015 she was being fired, saying she had not “made enough progress,” according to her lawsuit.

Sawicki resigned a short time later and has since gotten a new teaching position and has received good evaluations. Her lawsuit is requesting that she be reinstated to her previous position with full back pay and benefits.

District officials earlier this month asked a federal judge to dismiss Sawicki’s lawsuit, claiming the district took “prompt and adequate remedial action” in response to her complaints. In a 39-page motion filed on May 10, the district argued that Sawicki’s alleged sexual harassment was not “pervasive enough to create an environment that a reasonable person would find hostile or abuse.”

District officials also argued that it had decided not to renew Sawicki’s employment for “legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons that were not pretextual.”

A jury trial in federal court is scheduled for Sept. 12.
