On October 4, 2000, a teacher of Hispanic origin filed a charge (100-A1-0032) with the District of Columbia Office of Human Rights and Washington D.C. area office of the EEOC against District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), under Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(1). The plaintiff alleged discrimination on the basis of national origin (Hispanic), which occurred when the DCPS failed to promote him. On or about July 24, 2002, EEOC issued a determination letter finding reasonable cause to believe that DCPS had discriminated against the plaintiff. After conciliation failed, EEOC referred the charge to the DOJ.
On September 28, 2005, the DOJ, the complainant and DCPS entered into a private settlement agreement. Under the agreement, none of the parties made any admissions. DCPS promised not to retaliate in any way against the complainant because he filed the charge or participated in the proceedings. DCPS promised a different classification of the complainant's job, with the same description, duties and responsibilities as his position at the time, and with an annual salary of $55,850. DCPS also had to pay the plaintiff a monetary award in the amount of $27,925, no later than October 31, 2005. DOJ promised not to bring any claim or action under the factual circumstances of the case. The complainant also signed a release form, releasing any claims alleging employment discrimination arising out of the facts of the case.
