School district settles Christian university student teacher suit

Washington Elementary School District's governing board approved a student teaching agreement with Arizona Christian University to settle a lawsuit that raised questions about the religious beliefs of student-teachers and whether they clashed with district efforts to support LGBTQ students. 

The agreement allows for an additional five years of student-teacher placement within the district, to be renewed annually, according to the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal organization that represented the university.

The settlement also requires the school district to pay $25,000 to cover the university's legal fees, according to the group.
