Mid Vermont Christian School forfeited a girls’ basketball game against a team with a self-proclaimed transgender player back in 2023.
The school was then kicked out of the state’s sports league.
But the school won a $566,000 settlement after they and an impacted family filed suit, according to an April 29releasefrom the Alliance Defending Freedom.
The Vermont Principals Association removed Mid Vermont Christian School from the league back in 2023, even though transgenderism violates their religious convictions.
The case against the Vermont Principals Association eventually advanced to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit.
The court ruled in September 2025 that Vermont must permit the school to continue taking part in the organization.
The Vermont Principals Association agreed to pay $566,000, which will cover damages and attorneys’ fees, as well as partially settle the lawsuit.

“For more than two years, state officials denied Mid Vermont Christian School a public benefit available to all other schools in Vermont just because it stood by the widely held, biblical belief that boys and girls are different,” he continued.
