Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

My daughter is an elementary school teacher, she recently had her 4th child... was written out 2 weeks early for health reasons, therefore she had not prepared her lesson plans... once she had delivered and was recovering she took care of this... the principal began to accuse her of not doing the work and sent her a letter of reprimand for her performance while on maternity leave.. approved FMLA, placed her on pdp, took her class room away from her put her in Special Ed... where paperwork if vital.. it appears to set her up for failure... She had to go on medication for stress, she could no longer breast feed her child.. and the higher ups refused to meet with her so she can defend herself. Does she have a case?? What route should she take??

A credible lawyer can't tell you if your daughter has a case based on a couple sentences, of one side of the story, from a third person not involved in the incidents. Obviously, no one here knows whether or not she did what she was supposed to do (whatever that may be). You also don't tell us how she is damaged, beyond stress. Your daughter can get referrals for lawyers who primarily handle employment matters, and discuss all facts with him or her.
