Christian University Settles with Valley School District Over Discrimination Lawsuit

The Washington Elementary School District Governing Board voted 4-1 Wednesday to settle a lawsuit filed by Arizona Christian University (AZ) that accused the district of religious discrimination.  In February, the school board voted to terminate an ongoing student-teaching contract that allowed ACU students to gain education experience in WESD classrooms. The district also agreed to pay $25,000 in attorney fees, ADF said.
