(AP) – A Missouri educator awarded $500,000 over claims that
the superintendent sexually harassed her is suing again, alleging that school board members poisoned her effort to find a new job.Jodi Heckler was principal of an intermediate school in the Reeds Spring
School District near Branson. She resigned in March as part of a settlement.

Meanwhile, superintendent Mike Mason – the man she accused of harassment – was given a raise and contract extension. The lone dissenting vote was cast by the only female board member.

Heckler says in a second lawsuit that despite a sterling job record she
applied for more than 60 jobs before finally being hired as a fifth-grade
teacher. She says her efforts were hurt by board members saying bad things about her.
