Santa school district and contractor settle lawsuit

[Guest guest]

By Associated Press

The school district has settled its lawsuit over construction problems,

including leaks and mold, at a Santa high school.

The Santa Joint Union High School District reached a tentative deal Monday

with Fresno-based general contractor C. and Sons Inc., builders of

the $60 million Pioneer Valley High School.

Financial details were withheld.

District superintendent Jeff Hearn says the focus now turns to repairing defects

at the school.

A high mold count in several buildings led officials to discover that faulty

ceilings and improperly installed windows had allowed rain to seep into the

wall. The district has spent more than $1.8 million on mold cleanup.
