NEW YORK (AP) — The National Women’s Law Center has filed complaints against 12 school districts across the country, saying they fail to offer equal opportunities for female athletes.
The center said Wednesday that data from 2006 indicated the districts violated Title IX, the federal law prohibiting gender discrimination in federally funded education programs.
The complaints were filed with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.
The school districts are Chicago; Clark County, Nev.; Columbus, Ohio; Deer Valley (Ariz.); Henry County, Ga.; Houston; Irvine, Calif.; New York City; Oldham County, Ky.; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Wake County, N.C.; and Worcester, Mass.
