Former teacher brought action claiming that school district violated Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other federal and state laws by refusing to grant her reasonable accommodations after she suffered herniated disks and related back problems.
The Court of Appeals held that:
- Ample evidence supported finding that school district’s offer of elevator access to teacher after reassigning her to upstairs classroom was a reasonable accommodation under ADA, and
- School district offer of elevator access to teacher fulfilled its duty under the ADA, and it was not obligated to offer her another teaching or administrative position.
