PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Parents of an African-American student previously at Portland Catholic school say they have reached an agreement with the Archdiocese after an alleged racist incident in March.

Karis Stoudamire-Phillips and her husband Mike, are prominent members of Portland's Black community. Their 10-year-old son was expelled from Portland's Madeleine Catholic School after they decided to challenge the school and the Archdiocese.

The Phillips' say their son was called the N-word on the playground by at least one other student. When Karis and Mike met with Principal Tresa Rast, they claimed she didn't take the incident seriously.

When the conversation got heated, Rast called the police.

While no arrests were made, the son was expelled, which is when they decided to fight back.
