7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Sarah Johnson v. Northeast School Corporation

Case No.: 19-2870

Officials: SYKES, Chief Judge, and RIPPLE and KANNE, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Summary Judgment – Title IX Claim – Evidentiary Rulings

Sarah Johnson sued North Central High School and Northeast School Corporation (“NESC”) in 2018, claiming that their inadequate response to her allegations of sexual harassment violated Title IX, 20 U.S.C. § 1681(a). The district court entered summary judgment for North Central and NESC on all claims. Johnson now takes issue with two of the district court’s evidentiary determinations and its disposition of her Title IX claim. Because Johnson has waived any arguments regarding the district court’s evidentiary rulings and because NESC was not deliberately indifferent to Johnson’s claims of sexual harassment, we affirm.
