The Department of Justice announced the settlement Monday after initially alerting the school district in 2023 that it would launch an investigation because school officials had been “deliberately indifferent" to known race-based harassment. This included incidents of students holding a mock “slave auction” to sell Black students to their white classmates, and white students repeatedly and openly using racial slurs.
