The Rincon Middle School teachers, Lori Ann West and Elizabeth Mirabelli, have been on paid administrative leave since May, when they filed the lawsuit against the Escondido Union School District alleging violations of their First Amendment rights. …

[West] and Mirabelli pursued legal action to challenge an EUSD privacy policy that required teachers to get a students’ consent before disclosing their gender identity to their parents. …

For West and Mirabelli, that should have meant they would be able to get back to work as soon as possible, but they say that did not happen. …

After months of back and forth with attorneys for the Escondido Unified School District [West and Mirabelli’s attorney Paul] Jonna filed a motion to hold the district in contempt. The judge denied that motion, but instead ordered the district to allow them back to work. …

Mirabelli was not in court on Wednesday due to health reasons, but West says she is excited to get back to work and harbors no ill will towards the school district. …
