Firing of Haraughty from Mission Valley stands

The Shawnee Mission School District announced yesterday that an arbitrator has upheld the district’s decision to fire popular Mission Vally Middle School science teacher Ryan Haraughty. Haraughty was let go last November after an incident in which he made sexually suggestive remarks in the classroom. Haraughty appealed the decision shortly after being fired.
