Providence Public School District (PPSD) came to an agreement with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) Tuesday following a lawsuit after the district allegedly refused to allow Christian clubs on school property.
The CEF filed a lawsuit against the district in March after administrators revoked a previous contract allowing Good News clubs on school grounds and refused to approve a new one for several years. PPSD and CEF agreed Tuesday after a U.S. District Court judge approved a consent agreement that allows the Christian clubs on campus, according to a press release from Liberty Counsel.
“The Providence Public School District reached a consent agreement providing Child Evangelism Fellowship access to its facilities as similarly situated nonreligious organizations such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Girls on the Run,” a district spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Good News Club was at PPSD within William D’Abate Elementary School for the 2019-2020 school year.”
