[quote=Anonymous]I would address it with the principal. I know someone with unmedicated bipolar and she’s unpredictable and makes unhealthy social decisions. The principal may not know, or may not know that she’s unmedicated. You’ve said a number of things here that seem like yellow lights warning you to be cautious. I would not say anything that puts the principal in an awkward position from an ADA/EEO perspective. So rather than send an email and ask, I would send an email with a comment and indicate that you’re not seeking a response at this time and that you recognize the sensitivity of discussing an employee’s health information with third parties. Something like,  “Hi principal Larla, I am writing about a concern I have about Ms X’s recent behavior in the classroom. She has been crying in class. I also read in her public blog that she has unmedicated bipolar disorder. I’m not seeking a response from you regarding her health status. However, I do want to put these issues on your radar in case the crying and other concerning behavior does not improve. Thank you.”[/quote]
