YUCAIPA, Calif. (AP) The mother of a 13-year-old girl who died from an asthma attack at a Southern California school will receive $15.75 million from the school district, their lawyers announced.
Attorneys argued the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District was negligent and did not use best practices when it comes to documented student medical conditions.
Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District settled a lawsuit this week for $15.75 million with the family of a middle school student, who died in 2019 after suffering an asthma attack on campus.
A California school district plans to pay a mother $15 million in a negligence lawsuit, after her daughter was told to walk up and down a hill at school and died from an asthma attack.
