Defendants, in addition to the school board, are James Clemens Assistant Principal James Watts and Brian Clayton, who was principal at the school at the time and is now the superintendent of Hartselle City Schools. Watts then returned to Jane Doe on the bus, the lawsuit said, and as she was trying to exit the bus, “he grabbed her wrist and pushed her back into one of the bus seats.” The lawsuit said Watts then “pushed his forearm into Jane Doe’s face forcing her head back into the seat.”“In retaliation and apparently now at a complete loss over his emotions, Defendant Watts began punching Jane Doe in the face with a closed fist,” the lawsuit said.
Jane Doe was handcuffed, placed in the back of a police vehicle and taken to the Madison police station, the lawsuit said. She was later released to her mother, the lawsuit said.
