The Lehigh Valley school district that tried to ban an after-school Satan Club from meeting on its property earlier this year has agreed to pay $200,000 to cover attorney fees. The school will also give the club the same access to school facilities as “comparable groups.”

In the settlement finalized Thursday between the Saucon Valley School District and The Satanic Temple, the district also agreed to not retaliate or discriminate against club members, families or volunteers “on the basis of their viewpoint” or for the “exercise of their First Amendment rights.”

Saucon Valley School District, and Hellertown is one of the towns that is within that district.
