Case Dismissal in connection with Disability Discrimination and Retaliation Claim by a Former Board of Education Employee

Represented a municipal Board of Education in its defense of claims of disability discrimination and retaliation by an employee in a public hearing before the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. The employee claimed that the Board failed to engage in the interactive process when it failed to find a suitable accommodation for the employee, ultimately resulting in the employee’s dismissal. The case was dismissed by the Commission, finding, in part, that the Board had adequately satisfied its obligation to engage in the interactive process.
