§ 19690 District Claim Procedures

• •If you want money from the district (like a school or local government) because they did something wrong, you have to follow special rules.
• •These rules are in a part of the law called Government Code, starting at Section 900 and Section 940.
• •Some other laws might also apply, but only if they specifically talk about your situation.

Your kid trips on a broken sidewalk at school and breaks their arm.

You can’t just ask the school for money. You have to follow the rules in the Government Code (starting at Section 900) to file a claim the right way.
