I recommend checking with your Union rep first, but yes you could. You probably won't get anywhere unless you have lots of documentation.
== The situation sounds like this character is sabotaging your efforts. Efforts to get this taken care of in the courts may take up several years and hours of your time, not to mention worry and stress. Another possibility, but less satisfying on some levels, is to walk away. Leaving on your own terms and in your own time is wonderful. You can show class. Obtain a job in another district where the culture does not allow this sort of behavior. If you find that the district supervisor is affecting your success in being hired elsewhere, then you will have to take steps. However, most of these people are satisfied with just running you out.
