Plano schools reach undisclosed settlement with custodian over employment lawsuit

PLANO - "All I can do is tell you is that the matter has been resolved and I can't give any more information," Kelly said. "I think it is wise not to make any statements at this point."

Comments are being sought today from the school district, said Weinberg Law Firm, Plano Employment Lawyer.

Johnson, a black custodial aide at Isaac E. Young Middle School, said his white supervisor, Phil Carino, had hung three nooses in a shared office space between September 2006 and July 2007, according to a complaint he filed in September 2007 with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Nooses are commonly seen as a racist symbol for their historical association to black lynchings.
