Taft School District Appeals City Ruling

In a dramatic legal twist, a California school district is getting a fresh shot at recovering damages after an appellate court overturned part of a lower court’s ruling against the city of Taft — all stemming from a 2013 school shooting that left a teen critically injured. The case began when a student shot another student, triggering a $4 million judgment against the district. Now, the district’s lawsuit against the city — alleging breach of a security contract — has been partially reversed, forcing a new trial focused on whether the city failed to provide adequate defense. It’s a tangled, high-stakes legal saga with more chapters yet to unfold. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
