Stipulation and Order of Dismissal
STIPULATION AND ORDER OF SETTLEMENT AND DISMISSAL: AND WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to resolve this case on the following terms and conditions: WHEREFORE, it is hereby AGREED and ORDERED as follows: 1. This lawsuit is dismissed with prejudice, without fees or costs to any party, as of the Effective Date (as defined below). 2. The Preliminary Injunction, ECF 57, 77, is vacated, as of the Effective Date. 3. DOL agrees to take any steps necessary to secure the release of the bond Plaintiffs posted in connection with the Preliminary Injunction. 4. Within ten days of the Court's entry of this stipulation, DOL shall fully and unconditionally rescind all Termination Notices, and take no further action to terminate Job Corps contracts based on or pursuant to those notices. 5. Until January 31, 2029, absent a major disaster, national emergency, or significant change to the funding provided to Job Corps by Congress, DOL: a. will not issue program-wide Job Corps stop-work orders, termination notices, non-renewal notices, or any similar notices or announcements ending operations across multiple Job Corps centers, instead addressing any such notice according to the individualized circumstances of each specific center; b. will, before closing any Job Corps centers to align program costs with Job Corps' appropriated funding levels, consider, in good faith, alternative steps to reduce program costs without the closing of any Job Corps centers; c. will, if closing an individual Job Corps center, offer the students at the impacted center a chance to complete their training at a different center; and d. will not pause or suspend processing of background checks or take program-wide actions that may prevent or inhibit the enrollment of students into open and active Job Corps centers. 6. Nothing in this Stipulation prevents DOL from issuing policy or program guidance regarding the day-to-day operation of the Job Corps program and centers. DOL also may issue center-specific Job Corps stop-work orders or operational pauses if a documented center-specific emergency has arisen making the continued operation of the Center unsafe for students and staff, provided that such stop-work orders or operational pauses shall remain in place only for the period of time the emergency exists.1 DOL also may take specific contract actions to address performance concerns with individual Job Corps center operator contractors, which may include stop-work orders, show-cause notices, or terminations including as set forth in 29 U.S.C. § 3209(f)(2). a. If DOL pauses operations at a Job Corps center for any reason, it will provide a written explanation to the impacted center operator and National Training Contractors, as applicable, of the specific reasons for the pause and the conditions that would allow the center to resume operations. b. If DOL issues a center-specific stop-work order, contract termination, operational pause, or takes any substantially similar action, DOL will provide the students at the impacted center a chance to complete their training at a different Job Corps center, and all student records will be handled, transferred between centers, and maintained according to federal records retention requirements as explained in the Job Corps center operator contract and the Job Corps Policy and Requirements Handbook (PRH). 7. This Stipulation represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Parties acknowledge that no representations were made that are not part of this Stipulation or that caused the Parties to enter into this Stipulation. 8. The Parties agree that electronic, scanned, or facsimile signatures shall have the full force and effect of original signatures. This Stipulation may be executed in any number of copies, each of which shall be deemed to be a counterpart original. 9. The undersigned counsel represent and warrant that they are fully authorized to execute this Stipulation on behalf of the persons and entities indicated below. 10. This Stipulation is governed by the laws of the United States. This Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to this Stipulation. For purposes of construing this Stipulation, this Stipulation shall be deemed to have been drafted by all Parties to this Stipulation and shall not, therefore, be construed against any Party for that reason in any subsequent dispute. 11. This Stipulation is binding on the Parties' successors, transferees, heirs, and assigns. 12. This Stipulation is effective ten days after the date the Court enters it (the "Effective Date"). Should the Court not enter this stipulation, it shall be null and void, with no force and effect. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr on 9/1/2026) (ar)
