The club with the motto Educatin' with Satan has to be treated like any other student group, according to the settlement.

The Lehigh Valley school district that tried to ban an after-school Satan Club from meeting on its property earlier this year has agreed to pay $200,000 to cover attorney fees. The school will also give the club the same access to school facilities as “comparable groups.”

In the settlement finalized Thursday between the Saucon Valley School District and The Satanic Temple, the district also agreed to not retaliate or discriminate against club members, families or volunteers “on the basis of their viewpoint” or for the “exercise of their First Amendment rights.”

    Apparently, Hellertown, Lehigh or Saucon depending on whether you read the headline, the first paragraph or the second paragraph.

      Lehigh Valley is the name of the area. The Philly area is also called the Delaware Valley, as a comparison.

      Edit: some evidence to support my claim, since someone accused me of being incorrect: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaware_Valley

      It’s confusing and poorly phrased. The school district is named “Saucon Valley School District”. It’s in the Lehigh Valley area (which is a large area). Hellertown is a town in the district.

      So when it says “Lehigh Valley school district” it’s referring to the location not the name.
