Strengthen Ada Discrimination Claim

Summary

Therapist notes can strengthen your ADA discrimination claim by documenting a pattern of bullying. The shoes and text messages can serve as evidence if properly documented. Security tapes are likely unavailable after a year, so focus on other evidence like emails and witness statements. Consider consulting an employment attorney for personalized advice.

I have a question. Over a year, informed my assistant principal about the ADA discrimination, bullying, and harassment i was enduring from my Principal. The EEOC is investigating. Will my prior therapist notes that documented bullying over the years stengthen my claima
Hi ****,
Therapist notes can indeed help strengthen your claim by providing documented evidence of the bullying and harassment you experienced. This can support your case by showing a consistent pattern over time.
Is there any other specific information or documentation you have or need assistance with?
I have a pair of size * shoes the assistant principal gave me as he told me to see if i could walk in them. I wear a size *. I feel this was motivated by the principal.
Hi ****,
That sounds troubling. To better assist you, could you clarify if the incident with the shoes occurred in the context of your ADA discrimination claim, or if it was a separate incident? This will help determine how it may relate to your ongoing investigation.
Yes. My principal was also serving as my site supervisor for my principals license and masters degree.
Hi ****,
Thank you for providing more details. Your situation sounds complex and challenging. Here is some general information that might help:
- **ADA Discrimination**: Document all incidents related to discrimination, including dates, times, and any witnesses.
- **Therapist Notes**: These can be substantial evidence if they show a consistent pattern of bullying and harassment.
- **EEOC Investigation**: Cooperate fully and provide all relevant documentation, including the shoe incident if it relates to discrimination.
Would you like guidance on specific steps to take next or more information on what qualifies as ADA discrimination?
Can the shoes serve as evidence of bullying since they werent asked for and are too big for me?
Hi ****,
Yes, the shoes can potentially serve as evidence of bullying, especially if documented properly. Make sure to:
- Note the date, time, and context of the incident.
- Document any conversations related to the shoes.
- Include this in your EEOC investigation materials.
Would you need more guidance on documenting such incidents?
I texted the testing coordinator a response defending myself after he said i would take it out on someone in regards to my ptsd.he said it was for the best that i didnt get the open ap position. He never responded which is a change in behavior as he had always responded.
Hi ****,
It sounds like you're dealing with a lot. To help guide you better, could you clarify if the testing coordinator's comments and lack of response are part of the ongoing ADA discrimination and bullying issues? This will help determine how to incorporate this into your case.
Thank you.
Yes. He shares a room witj the ap who gave me the shoes and is close to the principal
Hi ****,
Thank you for the additional information. Based on what you've shared, here are some steps you might consider:
- **Document Everything**: Record the date, time, and context of the incidents, including the shoe incident and the testing coordinator's comments.
- **Include All Evidence**: Ensure that all relevant incidents, including the shoes and the testing coordinator's behavior, are included in your EEOC materials.
- **Seek Legal Advice**: Consider consulting with an employment attorney specializing in ADA discrimination for personalized guidance.

Ok, but is the text a good piece of evidence?
Hi ****,
Yes, the text can be a good piece of evidence if it clearly shows the context and the nature of the incidents related to your ADA discrimination claim. Ensure you:
- Document the date, time, and context.
- Save all relevant communication.
- Include this in your EEOC case.
Would you like more information on specific documentation techniques or legal resources in Texas?
Yes, my principal attempted to trigger my PTSD. IS that punishable with jail time?
Hi ****,
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Texas, intentional actions that cause harm or distress can potentially lead to criminal charges, but civil remedies like lawsuits for damages are more common. Key points:
- **Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED)**: This is a civil claim you might pursue.
- **Criminal Charges**: Unlikely without clear evidence of intentional harm or physical assault.
Would you like more information on pursuing a civil claim or understanding IIED in Texas?
How long do school districts keep security tapes from campuses
Hi ****,
In Texas, the retention period for school district security tapes can vary. However, a common practice is to retain them for * to 90 days, unless required for an ongoing investigation or legal matter.
Would you like more detailed information on Texas school district policies or guidance on how to request specific footage?
So if it happened a year ago, they most likely wouldnt have it
Hi ****,
Given the typical retention period for school security tapes (*-90 days), it's unlikely the footage from a year ago is still available. However, you can still request it formally to confirm.
Would you like assistance on how to make an official request or explore other types of evidence for your case?
Other than the AP and the testing coordinator witnessing it, they will probably lie
Hi ****,
Given that the AP and the testing coordinator might not provide truthful accounts, it's crucial to gather other forms of evidence to support your claim. Consider these steps:
- **Collect Documents**: Emails, texts, or any written communication related to the incidents.
- **Witness Statements**: If there are any other witnesses, get their statements.
- **Therapist Notes**: Continue using these as evidence.
Would you like more information on how to formally request these documents or any other specific guidance for your case?
