Background
|
In November of 2020, the Board of Education authorized a resolution to participate in a litigation effort against a number of companies that drove the rise in the vaping epidemic. This was a joint effort by a number of school districts around the country in an effort to recover some of the resources schools districts have invested in the prevention of or response to this unfortunate trend.

Summary:
|
Frantz Law Group led the litigation effort, in partnership with a number of other school district attorneys. A partial resolution has been reached with one of the companies. The details are included in the attached resolution document. It is expected that a second resolution will follow at some point in the future.

Funding:
|
There was no cost to the District to participate in this litigation. District 200 will receive $287,000 through the settlement agreement.
