Lawyers on both sides of a legal battle over a prayer banner at a Cranston public high school have agreed on conditions for the display while city officials decide whether to appeal an order requiring its removal.
The terms filed on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Providence say the Cranston High School West prayer banner must remain covered with wood while officials decide whether to fight the removal order. The banner has been covered since a judge ordered its removal in a lawsuit filed on behalf of student Jessica Ahlquist, who is an atheist.
If the city appeals, the wood must be painted to match the wall color and stay that way during the appeal. If the city doesn't appeal, the banner must be removed.
The terms must be approved by a judge.
