After
turning down a settlement deal earlier this year, it seems the Canton School District in Illinois has
reached an agreement with the plaintiffs. But no one is saying what that deal is--at least not until January 20, 2010 when it will be announced at a school board meeting. The deal was scheduled to be revealed last week, but on the advice of a district lawyer, the board held the announcement.
As a reminder, here are a few of the allegations from the original complaint filed in May 2009:
- football and boys' basketball have better sound systems
- the band, cheerleaders and other spirit squads attend boys' games, but not girls
- district funding is not equitably distributed
- and that there are inequities in equipment and locker rooms.
