McNary graduate sues school district for $900,000, claiming assault by student

A former McNary High School student is suing the Salem-Keizer School District for almost $900,000, claiming in a lawsuit that a fellow student assaulted him.

Brandon Bautista Martinez, a 2025 graduate of McNary High School, is accusing the school district of failing to protect him from another student with a history of threatening violence, the complaint said.

The district’s failure to warn Bautista Martinez led to an assault that broke his clavicle, the complaint said.
