A veteran teacher accuses the St. Charles Parish Public Schools and the school board president of of age discrimination.
Eudolia Arabie filed her complaint in federal court against St. Charles Parish Public Schools and Ellis A. Alexander, president of the School Board.
Despite her 42 years of teaching experience and certification to teach mild/moderate special needs students grades 1-12 by the State of Louisiana Department of Education, Arabie says she was not hired for any positions due to her age.
She previously had filed a Charge of Discrimination with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on November 10, 2023, and an Amended Charge on December 15, 2023. The EEOC issued its Determination and Notice of Rights to Arabie on January 10, 2024.
