Woman, son file suit
BROOKFIELD -- A Masury mother and her son are suing Brookfield Local School District and a shop class teacher.
Rhonda Stanish and David Stanish III, no street address available, filed the lawsuit Friday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court. School officials had not seen the suit and wouldn't comment.
The Stanishes are seeking more than $25,000, saying David Stanish was attending shop class Nov. 6, 2001, when his teacher, Walter Kijowski, told him to use a table saw and to remove the safety guard.
The boy followed the instructions and suffered a partial amputation of his right middle finger, the lawsuit says.
