OZELIA HARRIS vs. POMONA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, CORVEL

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition for reconsideration, upholding the WCJ's findings. The applicant, Ozelia Harris, sustained a psyche injury arising out of and in the course of employment due to a stressful work environment. This stress stemmed from a confrontational principal and an overall difficult employment setting, not a good faith personnel action. The WCJ found entitlement to temporary total disability benefits for a specific period, with permanent disability and future medical treatment denied.
