A teacher with a phobia of young children has lot an appeal accusing her former district of failing to accommodate her disability according to a report.
Maria Waltherr-Willard, 63, had accused the Mariemont district of age discrimination and a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act according to UPI.
She claimed that the district knew she suffered from pedophobia when she was transferred from Mariemont High School to the district's middle school in 2009.
She retired from teaching in January 2011, when her request to be transferred back to the high school was denied.
The court ruled the ADA "requires an employer to accommodate a disabled employee, but it does not require unreasonable accommodations."
Her age discrimination allegation was also rejected, as the teacher she would have replaced at the high school was only two years younger than her.
