A lawsuit filed by several Summit Township elementary families against the Butler Area School District concerning lead found in water in 2017 could be nearing a settlement.
At their meeting Monday night, the school board approved a settlement of $250,000 inclusive of legal fees to be paid by the district’s insurance provider, Liberty, in the Stark v. BASD lawsuit.
Lawyers for four plaintiffs filed suit before Judge S. Michael Yeager in the Butler County Court of Common Pleas against the School District and the District’s insurance company in 2019.
No new claims related to this incident are expected as the district maintains that they would be outside the statute of limitations.
Although the district has approved this settlement, the judge still needs to sign off before the agreement is finalized.
