FALL RIVER — A Fall River School Department special education teacher fired then reinstated after posting alleged racially charged comments on social media in 2020 has agreed to settle a federal lawsuit she filed against the city, the School Department and former Superintendent Matthew Malone. 
 

Corporation Counsel Alan Rumsey confirmed that teacher Taryn Camara has agreed to a $90,000 settlement for her breach of contract claim. He declined to discuss the lawsuit further. 

Camara’s attorney, Mark Gagliardi, did not immediately return a request for comment. 

According to federal court documents, the case was headed to trial after mediation with the court failed and before the two sides reached an agreement.
