A federal Title IX lawsuit filed by a Gainesville High School mother alleging inequality in the treatment of the school’s softball program has been settled. After about an hour in executive session Wednesday, the school board approved the settlement and announced plans to make improvements to the high school’s softball facility. A written statement released after the vote read, “The Gainesville City School System Board of Education and Superintendent are pleased to announce that, as part of the district’s overall capital improvement plan for its schools and facilities, it will be moving forward over the next year to make improvements to the softball field and complex located on the campus of Gainesville High School.
