A former assistant principal at Southampton High School has lodged a formal complaint against Superintendent of Schools Nicholas Dyno and the Southampton Union Free School District for 'unlawful discriminatory and retaliatory employment practices,' according to the complaint filed last week with the New York State Division of Human Rights. According to his legal team, Keith Saunders, who is Black, was labeled 'not loyal' and forced to resign after interviewing for another job with a different school district — 'as his white counterparts had previously done,' the complaint said.
