Default Entered Against RI School District in Good News Club Case

Providence Public School District must now provide equal access for Good News Clubs. Equal access means equal treatment in terms of use of the facilities, including fee waivers, time of meetings, and announcements


PROVIDENCE, RI – Today, a federal district court entered a default against the Providence Public School District and its superintendent, Dr. Javier Montanez, in Liberty Counsel’s lawsuit on behalf of Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) and its Good News Clubs. The school district has discriminated against CEF Rhode Island by not allowing its Good News Clubs on campuses while allowing other clubs to meet.

Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit against the school district on March 10, 2023. The Providence Public School District did not answer the complaint by the court’s deadline. Yesterday, Liberty Counsel filed an application to enter a default against the school district which will allow Liberty Counsel to seek a final judgment against the defendants. Today, the federal court entered the default against the district and its superintendent. Having raised no defense to the lawsuit, the district will be subject to a judgment requiring it to provide equal access to the Good News Clubs. Liberty Counsel will also pursue attorney’s fees and costs against the defendants.
