Lawyers for the child and her mother are seeking the court's approval of an agreement with the former teacher, Crystal Smith. The motion filed Friday said the settlement involves a confidentiality clause.
Additional claims remain pending against the Shawnee Mission School District, which suspended and then fired Smith after reviewing security footage. The video showed Smith kick a 5-year-old girl who had hidden herself in a bookshelf in the library of Bluejacket-Flint Elementary School in February 2019 after other students had left the area and another employee's back was turned.
