Case 3:17-cv-00739-TJC-JBT Document 192 Filed 07/26/18 Page 69 of 70 PageID 10747
IV. Conclusion
There is no doubt that the teachers and administrators of Nease High School and the St. Johns County School District are caring professionals who have the best interests of their students at heart. Likewise, Drew Adams presented himself as a polite, forthright individual who is, without rancor, seeking to vindicate his civil rights. The lawyers for both sides have also conducted themselves professionally. All involved are to be commended for the way they have handled a difficult and sensitive situation.
Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1. By separate entry, the Court will enter Final Judgment, finding in favor of plaintiff, Drew Adams, a minor, by and through his next friend and mother, Erica Adams Kasper, and against the defendant, St. Johns County School Board, on Counts I (Equal Protection Clause) and II (Title IX) of Adams’ Amended Complaint (Doc. 60). The Court’s Final Judgment will incorporate an injunction preventing the St. Johns County School Board from enforcing its policy which prohibits Drew Adams from using the boys’ restrooms at Nease High School;[1] and a compensatory damages award of $1,000.00.
- ↑ For the reasons previously stated, the injunction will not apply to locker rooms and showers.
