  • holding that a comment made nearly a year before the adverse employment decision that appeared unrelated to the decision was a stray remark
  • concluding that while the vitality of the stray remarks doctrine was questioned post -Reeves, the doctrine remained intact \at least where the plaintiff has failed to produce substantial [circumstantial] evidence\
  • noting that the third step of the McDonnell Douglas framework requires “the plaintiff [to] produce substantial evidence of pretext”
  • “[A]n employee’s subjective belief of discrimination alone is not sufficient to warrant judicial relief.”
  • Rodriguez was appealed after summary judgment rather than after trial.
  • discussing the “overwhelming evidence supporting the school board’s legitimate justification”
