Ex-Millard South counselor says she was forced to resign because she's gay

A former guidance counselor alleges her sexual orientation was a factor in district officials "forcing" her out of her job at Millard South High School.

Jill Stogdill, 37, is suing the Millard Public Schools in U.S. District Court for employment discrimination.

Her lawsuit alleges she was forced to resign "only because she was viewed by (district officials) as non-typical and engaged in a life relationship with another female."

Her lawsuit claims the effort to dismiss her arose from her counseling a student who belonged to an after-school club Stogdill sponsored, which drew complaints from the girl's parents and triggered a district investigation.
