§ 35202 School District Claims Process

• •If you want money from a school district (like for an injury or damage), you have to follow special rules.
• •These rules are in a different part of the law (Parts 3 and 4 of Division 3.6).
• •Some other laws might also apply, but only if they specifically say so.

A student trips on a broken sidewalk at school and breaks their arm.

If the family wants the school to pay for the hospital bills, they can’t just sue right away. They have to follow special steps in the law (like filing a claim first) before they can go to court.
