Gensaw v. Del Norte School District – Yurok Civil Rights Complaint
The ACLU brought this claim on behalf of a class of Yurok middle school students objecting the closure of the school. In the words of the district court, “Plaintiffs allege that the Del Norte County Unified School District, its Superintendent, and five members of its Board discriminated against Native American students on the basis of race and/or national origin by deciding to close middle school grades of Margaret Keating Elementary School, located on the Yurok Reservation in Klamath, California.” Slip op. at
The district court granted parts of the motion to dismiss, leaving a Section 1983 and a Title VI claim.
