Student journalists and their former advisor at Mountain View High School are far apart in settlement talks with a principal who allegedly censored an article about sexual harassment among students. Student journalists Hanna Olson and Hayes Duenow and former advisor Carla Gomez initially offered to settle their lawsuit for just over $1 million, court records show. They’re suing Principal Kip Glazer and the Mountain View Los Altos High School District for allegedly violating their First Amendment rights and then reassigning Gomez after the article was published in March 2023. The district has offered to settle for $150,000, according to an update filed on Tuesday.
