Opinion
PUGLIA, P. J.
The California Department of Education (CDE) is required by state and federal disability statutes to make reasonable accommodation for the known physical or mental limitations of its employees who have a disability. This appeal concerns whether real party in interest, CDE, unlawfully discriminated against plaintiff, its employee, by terminating him for misconduct caused by a disability, to wit, alcoholism, without first affording “reasonable accommodation” for plaintiff’s alcoholism. Plaintiff’s termination was upheld by defendant State Personnel Board (Board).
