Sanders Litigation Information

In October 2014, the Dolores Huerta Foundation, The National Brotherhood Association, Faith in Action Kern County (formerly known as Faith in the Valley), and several community members/students (“Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit against the Kern High School District (“KHSD”) and several other local and state education entities challenging student discipline practices and alleging civil rights violations related to African American and Latino students. In order to put an end to this costly and time consuming litigation KHSD has settled this matter as of July 24, 2017. The information contained here is meant to answer common questions and to provide the position of the KHSD on this matter.
