Coach Claims Victory in Sex Discrimination Case

A federal judge in the District of New Hampshire has denied a school district’s summary judgment motion in a case where a female lacrosse coach sued the district for discrimination.   Specifically, the judge held that it was unclear “whether the school district’s proffered reason for not renewing (the coach’s) contract and not rehiring her (was) a pretext for sex discrimination.” Thus, reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the coach, it denied the motion.   Li
