The families of those killed, wounded and scarred in the 2018 Florida high school massacre have reached a $25 million settlement with the district.
He would not say how much each family will receive, but the families of the 14 students and three staff members killed will get the largest shares. Those will be equal.The settlement comes after the school district had won a state Supreme Court ruling that could have capped total damages at $300,000 without approval from the Legislature.
Two school board members who were elected after having family members killed in the shooting did not take part in district discussions of the settlement. Lori Alhadeff lost her 14-year-old daughter, Alyssa, and Debbi Hixon lost her husband, athletic director Chris Hixon. Their families will receive payments.The family of one severely wounded student, Anthony Borges, is pursuing their own lawsuit, saying his injuries will require a lifetime of medical treatment that requires a larger payment.
