In Ekstrand V School District of Somerset , a Teacher

In Ekstrand v School District of Somerset , a teacher who taught kindergarten successfully for 5 years was assigned to a classroom without windows. She advised the principal that she suffered from seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression, and that she needed the natural light from a window to counteract the disorder. She submitted a letter from her psychologist advising of the condition and the need for natural light, but the school refused. There was an empty classroom with a window, and another teacher had offered to switch classrooms since she had one with a window, but the school would not allow it. The District Court granted summary judgment to the school district, and the teacher appealed. The Appellate Court ruled:

A) for the school district, since the teacher had not documented her need for an accommodation.
B) for the school district, since the school district had no accommodation to offer which did not involve an undue hardship
C) for the teacher, because she had documented her need for an accommodation, and the school district could have made a reasonable accommodation
D) for the teacher, because she suffered severe consequences as a result of the school district s failure to accommodate her disability
