Arizona's largest elementary school district has settled an evangelical Christian university's lawsuit alleging religious discrimination, agreeing to reinstate a program accepting student teachers from the school.

“This is a complete vindication of the rights of our students to be able to participate as student-teachers in a public school district without fear of religious discrimination,” saidPresident Len Munsil. “We obtained everything we wanted in this new agreement, without any sacrifice or compromise to our beliefs and our university’s religious purpose.”

In a statement, the school district’s governing board president, Nikkie Gomez-Whaley, said WESD was pleased to see the case ended.
