MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — A former school district official in northern Iowa has filed a lawsuit alleging gender and wage discrimination. The Globe Gazette reports that Mason City Schools’ former human resources director Jodie Anderson filed the suit Friday. The lawsuit names Superintendent Dave Versteeg, School Board Vice President Jodi Draper, HR Director Tom Drzycimski and the district. The lawsuit says Anderson found that “men were being paid more than women for the same categories of work” when she examined salary structures in 2015. The lawsuit says Drzycimski was hired for about $23,000 more than Anderson made, despite the equal work of the role.

Anderson worked for the district from 2015-2017. She says she resigned in part after feeling she had been discriminated against. Draper declined to comment to the newspaper.
