ORANGE, Calif. (AP) – An Orange County school district accused of allowing sexist and homophobic harassment has settled a lawsuit filed by one of its students and a gay rights group, officials said.

The settlement reached with the American Civil Liberties Union provides mandatory training for administrators at the Newport-Mesa Unified School District and teachers and students at Corona Del Mar High School over the current school year.

“If you look at it, we’re completely inoculating this school against homophobia and sexism,” Hector Villagra, director of the ACLU of Southern California’s Orange County office, told reporters at a news conference.

Villagra said the settlement was submitted to Orange County Superior Court Sept. 17 and with a request that the lawsuit be dismissed.

The ACLU sued the district and school officials earlier this year on behalf of a female student at Corona Del Mar High School and the Orange County Equality Coalition. The lawsuit claimed the female student was threatened in a video featuring three male students that was posted on a Facebook profile.

The suit alleged the male students discussed sexually assaulting and killing the female student, used homophobic language and “outed” another student. The district is accused of not responding adequately and condoning sexist and homophobic behavior.

Laura Boss, the district’s communications director, said the training will focus on what constitutes bias, how it affects students and how to address harassment and discrimination. She said the district believes the training will raise awareness for staff and students at the school.

According to a copy of the settlement, the district has also agreed to write an apology to the female student and survey Corona Del Mar students on the culture of sexism and homophobia at the school. The eight hours of training for administrators and four hours of training for teachers and students will be overseen by the Anti-Defamation League.

The parents of the female student, who is now in college, said they were pleased with the settlement and only wish it could have happened while their daughter and the male students were still at the school.

After the incident, their daughter changed her schedule to take only two classes at Corona Del Mar and the rest on an independent study basis. Now 17-years old, she said she hopes the settlement will prevent others from going through what she experienced.

“I hope that other students at CDM will learn from my experiences that it is possible to stand up for what is right and to prevail,” she wrote in a statement read aloud by her father, Mike Wiggins.

Her parents said they reported the threat to the police and school officials. They said they were not told whether the male students were disciplined but their daughter continued to see them when she was at school and was continually harassed by them.

Villagra said the district issued stay-away letters to the male students but only after the lawsuit was filed.

The lawsuit also noted that the high school caused an uproar when officials canceled a production of the musical Rent. The production was later reinstated. The cancellation allegedly stemmed from the inclusion of homosexuality in the hit musical’s story line.
