MORRISTOWN — A lawsuit by a former track coach and teacher at the Delbarton School, accusing the school’s former headmaster of retaliating against him repeatedly after the coach reported he was inappropriately touching members of his team, is headed for a trial date in the coming weeks in Superior Court in Morristown.
The ex-coach and teacher, Marc MacNaughton, filed the lawsuit against the elite boys’ school in Morris Township and its former headmaster, Father Luke Travers, after he was fired from his job and after the school allegedly gave him negative references when he applied for other positions.
Those references came despite a “non-disparagement” agreement signed when MacNaughton was terminated, his lawsuit contends.
The agreement over MacNaughton’s termination was signed in 2005 and Travers was later accused in several lawsuits of sexually abusing four Delbarton students.
