Former Donda Academy employees Cecilia Hailey and Chekarey Byers have filed a lawsuit against the school and its owner claiming that they were unfairly dismissed. In the documents, Hailey and Byers alleged that they were hired at the school in January this year and fired two months later in alleged retaliation for reporting code violations. They reportedly expressed concerns about "unlawful and unsafe practices" including that Donda Academy was not following state regulations "for students in need of educational services, additional testing, or individualized learning plans"
