The Saucon Valley School District has settled a lawsuit brought by attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for $200,000 and agreed to provide equal access to district facilities for members of an extracurricular group known as the After School Satan Club.
A federal court issued a preliminary injunction Monday ordering the Saucon Valley School District to allow the After School Satan Club to meet in district facilities, according to a news release by the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the organization backing the club.
Along with a copy of a legal brief its attorneys have filed in U.S. District Court, the Saucon Valley School District issued a statement Thursday in which it disputed allegations contained in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) against the district last month.
A battle involving an extracurricular school group that has drawn national attention to a local school district has now entered the legal realm.
Saucon Valley School District superintendent Jaime Vlasaty is standing by her decision to revoke the controversial After School Satan Club's permission to meet on school property, legal representatives for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said Wednesday.
Reversing a decision to allow a group sponsored by a religious organization to meet on school property could now land the Saucon Valley School District in legal hot water, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) warned superintendent Jaime Vlasaty in a letter Friday.
