Heise sues Lexington Two
Josh Cruse, The Columbia Star

Quote:
Six months after the initial report that Lexington School District Two filed a lawsuit against district parent Wayne McKim, the school district is getting sued itself.

Former Brookland- Cayce girls’ soccer coach Emily Heise has filed a Title IX lawsuit against the school district, Lexington Two board of trustees, superintendent Williams James, district CFO Kelly Richardson, Brookland- Cayce principal Gregg Morton, Brookland-Cayce athletic director/ head football coach/head baseball coach Rusty Charpia, and assistant athletic director/head basketball coach/assistant football coach Robert Wells.

In the suit, Heise cites many examples where girls’ sports at Brookland-Cayce such as soccer, softball, and volleyball were not treated equally to the boys’ sports.
