Two parents are suing Yukon Public Schools for negligence, alleging school officials didn't do enough to protect their children from bullying and harassment within the district's FFA program.

A lawsuit filed Friday afternoon in Canadian County District Court claims the children of Debra Wright and Dana Soupene, who are now high school seniors, were harassed and bullied by fellow students and former vocational agriculture instructors after an investigation into Yukon's FFA program.

The suit claims the two 17-year-old girls were targeted because Wright, her husband and Soupene discovered a former agriculture instructor was “skimming” on livestock purchases.

An investigative audit into the district's FFA program uncovered numerous instances of possible misconduct and confirmed that some instructors were charging some parents more than they paid for livestock, a practice known as “skimming.”
