Summary:
|
AB 218, known as the California Child Victims Act, went into effect January 1, 2020. AB 218 provides a three year period during which a claim for childhood sexual assault can be filed against a school district regardless of when an event occurred. It retroactively extends the statute of limitations and "revives" expired claims. These revived claims are being filed statewide and the costs of additional litigation must be funded. The District is a member of School Excess Liability Fund (SELF), covering claims in excess of $1 million or $5 million. As a member, we agreed to pay contributions to SELF to fund excess liabilities, including those retroactively imposed by law such as AB218.
An assessment to all SELF members was conducted June 2020 and approved for $46.6 million. The District's prorated SELF contribution totals $412,624.56 to be paid in three (3) installments; 1st installment of $141,795.38 due in March 2021; 2nd installment due 3/7/2022; and, 3rd installment due 3/7/2023. The allocation covers MDUSD's additional assessed risk as a member of this JPA.
