School Board of Nassau County vs. Arline (1987)
and
Robertson v. Granite City Community Unit School District 9 (1988)

Details:

A teacher at an elementary school suffered a series of tuberculosis relapses. In the first two, she was suspended with pay, but in the third relapse she was discharged. The only reason given for her discharge was her tuberculosis.

In another case, an elementary school student with AIDS was excluded from public education activities and extracurricular activities because of the student's illness. Both cases were determined to be discrimination under the RHA.
