ALVIN JACKSON, Plaintiff - Appellant v. FRISCO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, Defendant - Appellee

The appellant brought claims against a school district alleging that the district discriminated against him because of his race and retaliated against him for reporting such claimed discrimination. The district court ruled that the appellant established a prima-facie case for racial discrimination and retaliation, but that he failed to show a genuine dispute of material fact regarding the requirement that he show pretext on the part of the school district for unlawful discrimination or retaliation. The school district conceded that there was a genuine dispute of material fact on pretext at the level of an associate principal. When a person with alleged discriminatory animus has influence over the final decisionmaker, that alleged animus may be imputed to that decisionmaker. The district court's judgment is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
