A Shelton teacher is suing her school district, claiming it unfairly transferred her to another school after she married a fellow teacher.

Katelyn Botsford Tucker of Oxford sued the Shelton Public Schools on Dec. 3, in a case which challenges the fairness of the district's nepotism policy.

Her lawsuit asserts she was discriminated against based on her sex and marital status, in violation of Connecticut's Fair Employment Practices Act.
