Pleasanton School District to Pay $2.6 Million Neal School
The Pleasanton School District will pay $2.6 Million to Signature Properties and Standard Pacific to settle a long 7 year battle over the Neal Elementary school in Pleasanton.
In 2001 the Pleasanton School District estimated $8.5 Million was needed to build the school. In 2002 the price jumped to $13.5 Million when John Casey was named Superintendent and reevaluated the cost to build the school.
As you can guess one side says there was a legal agreement to build the school and the other said there wasn’t. $2.1Million is being paid by the Pleasanton School District towards the legal fees of 5 years and $500,000 for architectural plans for the developers.
After years of battling between the Pleasanton School District and the developers, the Pleasanton School District will be hiring the same law firm who represented the builders to represent the Pleasanton School District to seek a judgment against the original law firm the Pleasanton School District hired. The District is seeking $4.5 Million from their original law firm.
Looks like the battle is not over yet.
