Deaf teacher continues to receive harassment over reporter visit<\/p>\n

October 26, 2010<\/p>\n

Kathleen Nosek, a deaf teacher in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, is
\nstill in the thick of it.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Dallas Morning News reporter Avi Selk visited Nosek at
\nher school in order to investigate allegations of harassment that Nosek had
\nfiled against Principal Amy Miller. During the reporter’s visit, which was
\nprocessed through the front office, the reporter and the teacher were
\nescorted from the premises for “possible district policy violations.” Nosek
\nwas put on paid leave pending investigation of the incident.<\/p>\n

Now, it seems, the school district is attempting to extort a settlement out
\nof Nosek using the reporter visit as a tool. As reported in the Farmers
\nBranch blog of the Dallas Morning News, the school district offered to drop
\nthe investigation into the reporter visit if Nosek would agree to drop her
\nallegations of harassment against her principal and return to work at
\nanother school in the district. When Nosek’s lawyer requested that Nosek be
\nallowed to write a letter to her students explaining why she had left them
\nin the middle of the school year, the school district withdrew their offer.<\/p>\n

Ironically, this whole incident happened during National Disability
\nEmployment Awareness Month.<\/p>\n

Kathleen Nosek, who has been a special education teacher in the CFB district
\nfor a decade, was told by her principal, Amy Miller, that she would no
\nlonger be able to have another teacher help her administer a pronunciation
\ntest to her students, but would have to do so herself in spite of a doctor’s
\nnote saying her deafness made it impossible. Nosek filed harassment
\nallegations against her principal with the district and these allegations
\nbrought the reporter to the school to get more information.<\/p>\n

It is currently unclear how the matter will be settled, especially since the
\ndistrict lawyers refuse to explain why they want to use the investigation of
\nthe reporter visiting Nosek at school to force her to settle her own
\nharassment complaint, which is completely unrelated. The retaliatory nature
\nof the whole situation is unsettling at best, especially since the school
\ndistrict originally stated the investigation was unrelated to Nosek’s
\nallegations of harassment.<\/p>\n

I urge you to pass this on to anyone concerned with equal rights for the
\ndisabled, and for everyone to write respectful letters of protest to the
\nschool district.<\/p>\n
