The district made no admission of wrongdoing or liability. The money will be paid by the district’s insurance carrier.Parsons was the high school’s yearbook adviser when she said a secretary acting on behalf of the principal ordered her in 2017 to remove “Trump Make America Great Again” and make it appear as if the student was wearing a plain navy blue T-shirt.“That has to go,”&nbsp;&nbsp;Parsons was told.Parsons, who said she voted for Trump in 2016, said she was made a scapegoat and received death threats. She was suspended with pay after the incident.
