Sound familiar? These are the words and ideas that we are preaching to our high school athletes. Today, high school sports are BIG dollar productions. Victory and winning teams mean dollars for the athletic department, new uniforms, travel, prestige for community. But where are we going with our athletes and their values? What type of future do we see for tomorrow's players'? What have we done to the play for the love-of-the-game attitude?

Marshall & Melhorn, LLC Four Seagate, Eighth Floor Toledo, Ohio 43604 Re: Case No. 15-10-5002 Toledo Public Schools Dear Ms. Dawson: This is to advise you of the resolution of the above-referenced compliance review that was initiated by the U.S. Department of Education (Department), Office for Civil Rights (OCR), on September 28, 2010. This compliance review was undertaken to assess whether the Toledo Public Schools (the District or TPS) provides African American students with equal access to its resources, including strong teaching, leadership, and support, school facilities, technology and instructional materials, and educational programs. OCR initiated this compliance review under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d et seq., and its implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. Part 100, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving financial assistance from the Department. As a recipient of financial assistance from the Department, the District is subject to Title VI and, therefore, OCR had jurisdiction to conduct this compliance review. During the course of and prior the conclusion of OCR’s investigation, the District expressed an interest in voluntarily resolving the case and entered into a Resolution Agreement (the Agreement), which commits the District to specific actions to address issues identified during OCR’s review. This letter summarizes the applicable legal standards, the main areas of information gathered during the review, and how the review was resolved.

The complaint alleges that the District discriminates on the basis of sex in its interscholastic sports at Van Junior/Senior High School (the School) in its provision of locker rooms, practice, and competitive facilities. OCR enforces Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) and its implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. Part 106, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance from the Department. Because the District receives Federal financial assistance from the Department, OCR has jurisdiction over it pursuant to Title IX. To date, OCR has investigated this complaint by reviewing information provided by the Complainant and District, including interviews with District personnel. Prior to the completion of OCR’s investigation, on February 17, 2021, the District requested to resolve the complaint. On February 26, 2021, the Complainant withdrew a previous allegation regarding the facilities at Scott High School.

By Rev. Donald L. Perryman, D.Min. The Truth Contributor If it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery. - Babe Ruth “They must not like each other,” whispered Wanda Butts, daughter of storied former little league baseball coach John Butts, who piloted Toledo’s young, all black Lincoln School Tigers in the late 1950s and early 60s. Toledo City Council Recreation Committee Chairman Cecelia Adams, PhD, was being bombarded with one verbal brush-back pitch after an- other, apparently designed to intimidate and send a clear message. In an age of rising youth violence and absence of participation in positive summer recreational activities, Adams was advocating for the City’s participation in a Little League sanctioned Tee-Ball program for the central city. The program would replace a pipeline to prison or gang membership with teamwork, skills development and a conduit for high- er levels of youth baseball.
