KENILWORTH — A Catholic school that expelled a seventh-grade student whose family sued in an attempt to get her a spot on the boys basketball team was acting in accordance with school policy, officials with the Archdiocese of Newark said Thursday.

The possibility of the girls getting thrown out,” never even crossed my mind. It’s over joining a basketball team,” he said. “I am so disappointed.”

Jim Goodness, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Newark, said Sydney’s parents signed an acknowledgement in August of the school’s policy, which clearly states that legal action against the school will result in students’ expulsion.
