Federal Court throws out wrongful termination suit

- ANDOVER – After Greater Lawrence Technical School administrator Heidi
Riccio lost her job in 2013, she filed a civil suit for wrongful
termination against the school.
Last week, the U.S. District Court ruled in favor of Greater Lawrence Tech in a summary judgment, dismissing all claims made by Riccio.
Riccio, 43, of Salisbury, lost her job as director of careers and technical education at Greater Lawrence Technical School after an internal investigation found that a press release issued by the school falsely identified her as the recipient of a national teacher's award. Riccio was never named “Educator of the Year” by the nonprofit Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, a Chelsea High School teacher actually received the award.
On May 8, 2013, Riccio was separated from her position at Greater Lawrence Tech. She accepted a job as director of Medford Vocational Technical High School a month after, and began in July. Riccio remains in that position.
The Eagle-Tribune reported in 2013 that Roy Belson, superintendent of Medford Public Schools, said the press release was a result of miscommunication and would not have acted as Greater Lawrence Tech did. He maintained Riccio was the most qualified applicant for the position.
In February 2014, Riccio filed a suit against Greater Lawrence Tech and Superintendent John Lavoie, citing wrongful terminations and alleging the school, district, and superintendent committed a variety of state and federal violations when she was terminated https://www.eagletribune.com/news/merrimack_valley/federal-court-throws-out-wrongful-termination-suit/article_434840b8-0b0f-514b-92a3-16beddb22c2a.html
