In 1999, a lawsuit was filed against the school district and William Hickey, a school guidance counselor. The suit charged that Hickey had assisted a young girl in obtaining an abortion and that Hickey had helped the student keep the abortion secret from her parents, and directed her to a clinic in New Jersey where she could obtain the abortion without the consent that is required for a minor in Pennsylvania.
