Rights Unit Rules School Discriminated
The Cedar Rapids Community School District discriminated against two teachers forced to leave for maternity reasons, the Cedar Rapids Human Rights Commission ruled. It found sex employment discrimination under a maternity leave policy that forced one to resign and another to take leave after the fifth month. The ruling upheld complaints by Joan Parr of Iowa City and Judy McCarthy of Alburnett, noting the old policy was discriminatory. It urged re evaluation of the revised policy in force after July 1 and stressed leaves should be decided by the pregnant woman and her doctor, not the superintendent or a grievance committee. The commission referenced an Iowa Employment Security Commission ruling from July 11.
