Court records indicated that, on April 19, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a class action complaint against Sweetwater alleging unlawful sex discrimination under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. They alleged that Sweetwater intentionally discriminated against female students at Castle Park High School (Castle Park) by unlawfully failing to provide female student athletes equal treatment and benefits as compared to male athletes. They said that female student athletes did not receive an equal opportunity to participate in athletic programs, and were deterred from participating by Sweetwater’s repeated, purposeful, differential treatment of female students at Castle Park. Plaintiffs alleged that Sweetwater ignored female students’ protests and continued to unfairly discriminate against females despite persistent complaints by students, parents and others
