A grandfather complained that Maines was allowed to use the girl’s bathroom and therefore the school banned her from using the girl’s bathroom. Instead, she had to use the staff washroom. Maines and her family sued the school for discrimination as they violated the Human Rights Act. Maines and her family were awarded $75,000 for winning the court case against the school.
