Simpson Thacher, in partnership with the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center and California Women’s Law Center, settled a Title IX claim on behalf of female athletes at Clayton Valley Charter High School. In an amicable resolution to the dispute, Clayton has agreed to improve and maintain equitable athletic facilities for girls and boys; offer additional girls’ athletic teams; increase outreach to girls to participate in sports; and provide additional Title IX training to its coaches and administrators, among other things. The settlement is thought to be the first of its kind in the nation involving a charter school and serves as a guidepost for Title IX compliance in the charter school setting. The Simpson Thacher team included Buzz Frahn, Jayma Meyer, Michael Freedman and Lee Brand.
