Simpson Thacher, in partnership with Legal Aid at Work, reached an agreement with the Santa Clara Unified School District to resolve Title IX gender equality concerns affecting athletes at Wilcox High School in Santa Clara, California. The agreement will lead to significant changes that will help to level the playing field by providing equal athletic opportunities, treatment and benefits for female athletes at Wilcox.
“Title IX was passed more than forty-five years ago,” said Counsel Jayma Meyer. “I am encouraged to see that the district is making a good-faith effort to address compliance issues at Wilcox High without the need for legal action.”
The Simpson Thacher team included Buzz Frahn and Jayma Meyer.
