KENILWORTH, N.J. (AP) A New Jersey Catholic school that was ordered to rescind two sisters’ expulsions amid the older sister’s legal battle to play on a boys’ basketball team won’t allow them to return next year.
NJ.com reports St. Theresa’s School in Kenilworth rejected applications for next school year from 13-year-old Sydney Phillips and her younger sister, Kaitlyn Phillips.
The girls were expelled this year after their family sued. An appellate judge ordered the girls be allowed to return until a court hearing. A different judge had denied the family’s attempt to get Sydney on a boys’ team after the girls’ team was canceled.
