A former Manheim Township School District superintendent is suing the district, several former employees and former board members, claiming he was libeled when falsely accused of gender and age-based harassment.
John Nodecker, who was superintendent from 2014 to 2016, filed the suit June 2 in the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. Named as defendants are former human resources Director Donna Prokay, former pupil services Director Kathy Setlock, former school board President Bill Murry and former school board Vice President Mark Anderson, as well as the district.
The district’s spokesperson, ShaiQuana Mitchell, said the district will defend against the “meritless” lawsuit.
“The school district has become aware that its former superintendent has filed a lawsuit against the school district, and several former members of the board and former employees,” Mitchell wrote in an email. “The lawsuit is totally baseless, both factually and legally. The school district will vigorously defend these meritless claims.”
Nodecker claims he “suffered and continue to suffer pain and suffering, emotional distress,” and suffered “economic damages including attorneys’ fees and lack of vocational opportunity,” according to court documents.
Nodecker is seeking at least $50,000 for the alleged libel, breach of contract and a claim related to the district allegedly breaking a promise.
