HAMMOND â A Chesterton family is seeking $1 million from the local school district over a slap in the face.
Lawyers for the family have filed a lawsuit against a Chesterton High School volunteer wrestling coach, Keith Davison, as well as the entire Duneland School Corp. for an alleged civil rights violation.
They claim Davison slapped a 16-year-old student late last year during a school wrestling team practice session.
Portage attorneys Matthew B. Dogan and Thomas M. Dogan filed the suit early this week in U.S. District Court in Hammond.
It states the student has been an avid team wrestler since eighth grade. She had continued competitive wrestling in high school, where she was a member of the varsity team last year and finished third place at the state wrestling meet her freshman year.

VALPARAISO â Porter County has invested millions of dollars into stormwater drainage projects in South Haven. Now the work is entering the home stretch.
Six of the seven projects planned there have been completed or are nearly done. The days of standing water or ice on roads after routine storms are numbered.
âItâs different not seeing water sitting thereâ when driving on Midway and some other areas, Commissioner Jim Biggs, R-North, said.
Of the major projects, the south-central project around South Haven Elementary, might be the most significant, Biggs said.
âYouâve got this big basin there with wetland vegetation in it,â County Engineer Michael Novotney said, so certainly from a visual standpoint, that one is significant.
