The kindergarten teacher was transferred to teach special education classes without an aide, leading to her emotional distress, she alleged in the suit.
A former teacher in the South Orange-Maplewood school district has filed a lawsuit claiming she was forced to resign after a transfer to teach special education without an aide caused her to have “crying spells” in the classroom.
Prior to her transfer, Barlow had disagreements with school Principal Kevin Mason over the handling of two troubled students, according to the suit. After the anonymous letter was received, Barlow was transferred to the South Mountain School Annex for the 2022-2023 school year and asked to teach a class that included special education students, the suit says.
On Oct. 24, Mason sent Barlow a letter “admonishing her for exhibiting signs of anxiety and stress in the classroom,” the suit said. Barlow alleges her symptoms were caused by not having an aide and by Mason’s alleged mistreatment. “Unfortunately, due to the district’s failure to address her complaints of unlawful behavior and complete disregard for her disability and mental health, Ms. Barlow was forced to resign from her position on Nov. 1, 2022,” the suit states.
