The settlement closes a federal lawsuit Tapia filed last May that alleged the district's decision to fire Tapia violated her civil and First Amendment rights.
Tapia's concerns included her refusal to call students by their preferred pronouns and not revealing students' gender identities to parents.
The district approved the settlement but did not admit fault, stating it was made in the best interest of students and their education.
Tapia was terminated after social media posts, despite working at the district since 2014, with a focus on physical education at Jurupa Valley High School.
