A civil lawsuit on behalf of dozens of families whose young children were sexually assaulted by a substitute teacher in Highland Township was filed Monday morning against Huron Valley Schools and multiple others.

“It’s the definition of a predator.”

Timothy Allen Daugherty, a contract substitute teacher at Spring Mills Elementary in Oakland County’s Huron Valley School District, is facing charges of criminal sexual conduct involving students, with allegations dating back to April.

Parents are planning to file a civil lawsuit in the case of a Huron Valley Schools substitute teacher charged with criminal sexual conduct.

It is important to know that the state is using two measurements for community spread. “A Level A risk would be the lowest, lowest level of risk,” said Dr. Paul Salah, superintendent of the Huron Valley School District. The district currently has 17 total cases and 58 total quarantines for the year. Currently, the Utica School District has a total of eight or 42 classrooms and four athletic teams quarantined. “I would ask our community to do everything it can,” said Tim McAvory of Utica Community Schools.
