In a landmark ruling, six former students of the Mountain View School District won a lawsuit against their ex-teacher Joseph Alfred Baldenebro and the district, resulting in a $48 million verdict. The district is responsible for $36.2 million of the payout. Victims' attorneys highlighted the district's negligence and failure to heed warnings, which enabled Baldenebro's abuse. The last abuse incidents occurred between 2002 and 2016, affecting students at Miramonte Elementary. This decision aims to protect future students in educational institutions from similar predicaments.
