Step 3: File a Legal Claim



We observe and document that many school districts have space to accommodate new students and have long term declining enrollments. Yet, growth mitigation fees are collected when there is no growth in student enrollments. We believe this is a violation of state law – Gov Code 66001 and Ed Code 17620.  We document NO growth in enrollment from CBED’s and graphs from the State Department of Education. But consultants do lie!

Consultants are required to perform growth impact fee justification studies but some falsely forecast growth to collect the fees. ALL CONSULTANTS performing fee studies should be required to indemnify the school districts for successful  litigation against the districts.
