COLLEYVILLE -- A former teacher’s aide at Colleyville Heritage High School has filed a lawsuit against the Grapevine-Colleyville School District, claiming she was harassed by a co-worker and forced to resign after lodging a complaint.
She alleges that she is a victim of age and disability discrimination and retaliation.
Rayna Herrick, 77, was employed for eight years as a paraprofessional who provided one-on-one assistance for special needs students.
Herrick said she was forced to resign in November 2014 in retaliation for lodging a complaint of harassment against a co-worker, who is identified in the lawsuit as “Tammy.” In her Tarrant County court filing, she is seeking between $200,000 and $1 million.
“I loved it and I would still be doing it today if this didn’t happen,” Herrick said in an interview with the Star-Telegram. “We teach our kids not to bully and to report it. We don’t take it out on them.”
