NJ District Sued for Barring Adult Mentors Only from Christian Student Clubs
If this is your mountain
- If you have a student in Hopewell Valley schools, request the district's written policy on outside volunteers for all noncurricular clubs, not just FCA.
- Contact your local FCA chapter or Huddle leader to learn how the litigation affects mentor access this fall.
- Attend or review minutes from upcoming Hopewell Valley Board of Education meetings for updates on the case.
- Track the lawsuit's progress in U.S. District Court for New Jersey, since the ruling may set precedent for other districts' religious-club policies.
