About the Executive Briefing
Join three prominent attorneys as they discuss a class action filed in late 2019 on behalf of independent school districts in the National Opioid Litigation. This interactive briefing will address the status of the school district claims, damages asserted in the class action, and recovery opportunities for school districts related to the opioid litigation. As presented in this Opioid Litigation Fact Sheet, Opioid manufacturers and distributors promoted these drugs for unintended use, flooding the markets and leading to a massive and ongoing addiction and overdose crisis. Students have been impacted by this crisis, and public school districts have suffered acute damages and deserve compensation. If you are a school district leader, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
