In 1969, Bratt and another teacher filed a lawsuit against the Board of Education of the Syracuse City School District because they claimed they had not been paid for coaching extramural basketball, as they should have been according to the collective bargaining agreement between the teachers' union and the city, and that additionally, male colleagues were paid for coaching basketball while the women were not. Before a decision was made in the case, Bratt and co-appellant Marilyn J. Patrick filed a Title IX complaint with the State Division of Human Rights alleging discrimination on the basis of sex. The latter organization helped mediate the decision, but subsequently, the board claimed that the state division had no right to hear the case and the Board of Education filed suit against the State Division of Human Rights in 1971.
