Halunen Law Seeks Justice for Special Education Teacher, Whistleblower
May 25th, 2018
Halunen Law attorneys Ross Stadheim and Blaine Balow filed a lawsuit in United States District Court—District of Minnesota on behalf of Karen Abbott, a special education teacher in Independent School District 518. The suit claims the district unlawfully retaliated against Ms. Abbott —including harassment and a formal reprimand—because she reported special education violations. Ms. Abbott’s complaints also prompted an investigation by the Minnesota Department of Education.
“We stand firm with Ms. Abbott in her claims,” said Halunen Law partner Ross Stadheim. “Her reports alleged conditions that would have a profound impact on the students she served. We look forward to seeking justice for these claims.”
