PITTSBURGH – The Pittsburgh School District alleges that there are no substantive claims contained in a lawsuit brought against it by a longtime special education teacher who says she was fired by the district last August, while convalescing from a series of serious ankle injuries she sustained in three separate falls.
Stacy Serenari of Washington County first filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on Dec. 23 versus Pittsburgh School District, of Pittsburgh.
“Plaintiff worked for defendant as a special education teacher for close to 20 years. On or about Dec. 11, 2016, plaintiff fractured her right ankle in a fall at her home and was taken to the hospital. Upon her return from the hospital, plaintiff called Holly Ballard, Arlington Elementary School Principal. The next day, plaintiff went to an orthopedist and texted Ballard to provide her with an update,” the suit said.
Michigan schools have a serious inequity problem according to a report by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission.
