A teacher claimed that she was diagnosed with adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). She brought a claim against the school district alleging that the district had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and also a New York human rights law for discriminating against her on the basis of her ADHD, for retaliating against her for a complaint she filed with the New York State Division of Human Rights, and for failing to accommodate her ADHD. The teacher claimed that actions by the school district brought about emotional distress. Does the District have the right to compel the teacher to provide authorizations for the release of all records from her social networking accounts as part of its discovery during this case?
