What happened

This proposed class action against Wantagh Union Free School District, Lynbrook Union Free School District, and the Nassau County Public High School Athletic Association appears to challenge civil rights issues related to high school athletics, as the docket references athletic handbooks and code of conduct policies. The specific allegations are not detailed in the caption or docket text, but the suit is brought under civil rights statutes and seeks relief for a group of affected individuals. These are allegations only, not proven facts, and the case is not a settlement.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
