Federal officials investigate inequities in school sports facilities

July 20, 2009
Disparities alleged between baseball and softball fields

From The Washington Post: At C.D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, Va., the baseball field boasts a $50,000 press box, a locker room and a concession stand. The softball field? A faded wood shed and a port-a-potty. Now the school is under investigation by federal officials for sex discrimination, one of more than 40 schools nationwide that are under scrutiny for possible disparities between their softball and baseball facilities.
