September 1, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 117 MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order: The fact that Principal Garcia made the decision to change the bilingual policy in February 2009 fails to establish beyond reasonable dispute that the Board is entitled to summary judgment on Plaintiff's retaliation claim. Because it is not clear from the record when the decision was made to reassign Plaintiff pursuant to the new policy, a reasonable jury could conclude that the Board was motivated by retaliation when it announced Plaintiff's transfer to the reassigned teachers pool in June 2009. Accordingly, the Board's motion for reconsideration 111 is denied. Signed by the Honorable Thomas M. Durkin on 9/1/2015:Mailed notice(srn, )
June 30, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 109 MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order: For the reasons stated, Defendants' motion for summary judgment 74 is granted with respect to Ortega's ADA failure to accommodate claims and denied with respect to her disparate treatment and retaliation claims. The parties are directed to contact this Court's courtroom deputy to schedule a status within 30 days of this Order. Signed by the Honorable Thomas M. Durkin on 6/30/2015:Mailed notice(srn, )
