Spokane County Superior Court ruled against Mead School District for failing to protect a sophomore football player from hazing, which included a massage gun assault by teammates. The district also violated sexual harassment reporting laws and showed gender-based discrimination. The players lawyer emphasized the districts duties to protect students, act on reports, and follow the law. The district reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy for harassment and staff failures. A jury trial is set for May to decide damages for the sophomore, while two other Black students settled privately. Prosecutors opted for a diversion program with community service and counseling for five involved students.
