The teacher was transferred to Lake Ridge High School, which is in the same school district, at the end of the 2018 school year. The school district said the teacher refused to follow administration directions "regarding age-appropriate conversations with students" about sexual orientation. The settlement also requires the school district to provide Bailey with a "neutral" letter of recommendation. "I think this settlement was a win-win for Stacy, the educators and the students of Mansfield ISD," Smith said.
