Key Takeaways

•The district can start a lawsuit against others.
•The district can also be taken to court by others.
•This applies in any court that has the right to hear the case, unless another law says it can't.

Example

A family thinks the local school district broke a contract with a builder, so they want to sue the district for not fixing the school roof.

Because the law lets the district be sued, the family can file a case in the proper court to try to get money or a fix.
