While there is no resolution to Butler’s lawsuit against the PIAA, the district will be submitting their support for the high school sports legislative body to be subject to right to know laws.
The district solicitor asked the board for approval to submit an Amicus Brief with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in a case that is challenging the PIAA’s exemption from the Right to Know law.
Butler filed a lawsuit against the PIAA earlier this year after the organization prohibited Butler’s football team from playing in the District 10 playoffs, despite being an associate member.
Superintendent Dr. Brian White says there’s no update on whether or not Butler will be eligible for the postseason, but he’s hoping to have a resolution on the situation before the season begins in August.
