I am a teacher in the state of Maryland and have been teaching for 22
years. In 1998 I had a lot of health problems, with 2 heart attacks,double by-pass sugary, major back surgery and a major staff
infection.
The principle of my school has been using varoius means to get me out of her school because I was not meeting her expectations. She has been writing various menos day after day telling me all the wrong procedures I have not followed. I have also had bi-lateral total
knee replacement, the most recent was in June of this year.
I have applied for Disability Retirement in August but I have continue working until the final approval, which will come some time in mid until. I did at the end of last year go to our ASA Specialists in the county to try to get some help with one accommodation so I could remand teaching until final approval on retirement. This accommodation was accommodation by 3 doctors and documented and sent on the the principle of this school. The accommodation that was asked for was that I be allowed to sit down when my knees and back were in pain so I could take some of the stress of the body parts. This accommodation was refused totally by the principle and is in writing of her refusal.
The stress and the pain of standing has reach a breaking point. Because of all of this I suffered a relapse at school, because of a
bi-polar manic depressive disorder which I have had for 12 years.
I threaten to hurt the principle and said this to the school counselor many times, and she then gave that information to the principle. Late Friday afternoon is was placed on administrative leave with pay pending the investigation of the allegations which I made toward this principle.
My question is if I am fired because of this action can the school system block my Disability Retirement and take away my pension. I never have done or said anything to the principle.
Because of this problem I checked myself into a mental health hospital for help and will be going to a day treatment program for the next two weeks and also will be receiving professional help.
Could you please give me some advice on this issue.

Thank You
George
