Claims and Actions Against the District
Any and all claims for money or damages against the District must be
presented to and acted upon in accordance with governing Board policy and
administrative regulations. Compliance with District procedures is a prerequisite
to any court action, unless the claim is governed by statutes or regulations
which expressly free the claimant from the obligation to comply with this
policy and the claims procedures set forth in the Government Code.
The Board delegates to the Superintendent or designee the authority
to take action on claims of under $50,000. (Government Code 935.4)
This policy is intended to apply retroactively to any existing
causes of action and/or claims for money and/or damages.
