Washington State’s Bremerton School District overwhelmingly voted to accept the award, which would see

former coach Joseph Kennedy get a huge $1,775,000 settlement sum. In 2023, Bremerton High School will permit Kennedy to return as an assistant football coach.

Kennedy will also receive a $5,304 stipend for his time spent working on the 2023 football season, the district said in a statement.

According to school board president Alyson Rotter, the school community is glad to put this nearly

eight-year legal battle behind them so they can concentrate on what truly matters: providing our students with the finest education possible.

The coach has heard two encouraging things after being let go by the company. The agreed-upon recompense comes first.

He tasted justification for the first time in June, when the Supreme Court decided in his favor by a vote of 6-3.

He was allowed to pray on the field after games while knelt close to student players, the court ruled.
