The Fort Osage School District, western Missouri, has agreed to pay $215,000 to settle an equal pay suit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
On behalf of Jahala Kinser, the district's former assistant superintendent for educational services, EEOC filed the lawsuit in federal court in Kansas City, claiming that Jahala was paid less than men who held the same job before and after her, and the district refused renew her contract because of her complaints about the unequal pay.
The district also agreed to report the name, gender and salary of its assistant superintendents to the EEOC, and to modify its compensation policy.
