Legal Question in Education Law in California

Threats

I was a classified worker in a school district, very vocal

person regarding union issues regarding working

conditions,and filed a stress/ortho case 1997 caused

by workload and harassment by the principal. I had

been in talks with the union rep and principal for at

least a year or a little more until the rep quit. I feel the

dist. took the opportunity to force me out. My dr. and

psychiatrist suggested that I quit. I even took med.leave

from work. It was settled for ortho in 6/2003. While I

was still working, I came into possession of a letter

from a board member to the superintendent stating that

he hoped the principal could ''find a way'' to take some

disciplinary action regarding one of the job issues he

was not satisfied with and I had been complaining

about, ''since I was just a civil servant''. They tried to fire

me, I was already in the process of PERS disb.

retirement (granted for stress) and resigned. My

workers comp attorney did not use the letter. Can the

letter still be used in reference to Ed Code Part 25,

44113 for a civil suit? Do I have any recourse regarding

the letter?
