QUESTION

Is there a Title IX action here?

Asked on May 16th, 2016 on Discrimination - New Jersey
More details to this question:
High School with both baseball and softball programs. Boy's baseball field has dugouts, an outfield fence, three different uniforms, and their filed is consistently maintained. Girl's softball has no dugouts, only benches, no outfield fence, one jersey for each player, and those are mismatched, and no outfield fence. Field is also inconsistently maintained (not always lined or raked out). School has promised to make changes but most are not being implemented. The school maintains that the softball field will be moved and improvements made, but they have been promising that for about 6 years. They blame the county engineer for lack of movement on relocation of the field. Does this sound like a possible Title IX action? If so, how are legal services paid for in this type of action?

This is a great opportunity to make your point and have a great softball field. Have the parents make the softball field better than the baseball field. Then you can tell the administration that the parents will maintain the softball field. This will demonstrate the difference in the administration's approach to the two fields. You will be successful.
