Everett School Superintendent Priya Tahiliani and Deputy Superintendent Kim Tsai filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against Everett Mayor Carol DeMaria, the Everett School Committee and the City of Everett. The suit alleges the mayor and School Committee discriminated against them because they are women of color and were cooperating with a Justice Department investigation into Everett's discriminatory practices. The suit also says the mayor had cameras installed in the ceiling of Tahiliani's office without her knowledge, which the FBI has since removed.
