Some defendants tentatively agree to settle with White case victim

URBANA – The Urbana school district and several of its current and former employees have "tentatively agreed to settle their claims" with one of the victims of Jon White, the former Urbana teacher convicted on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, according to a motion for extension filed in federal court Thursday.

The suit was filed by Champaign attorney Ellyn Bullock on July 25 on behalf of an Urbana child referred to as Jane Doe-2 and her mother, Julie Doe-2. Among the suit's allegations was that several then-staff knew of or suspected White's improprieties and failed to report them to the Department of Children and Family Services.
