A school board in California has approved a settlement agreement with a high school student who was denied credit for community service hours he completed at his church. The student has now received full credit for the hours. The district administration also rewrote its community service learning policy to allow students to complete mandatory community service hours at either secular or religious organizations, including churches, on the same terms. Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit in October on behalf of the student, Christopher Rand.
