San Benito schools’ mold lawsuit settled
By Pallavi Agarwal, The Valley Morning

SAN BENITO, Texas — Three
years after two San Benito campuses were rid of mold, the company that
installed the school district’s heating and cooling systems has agreed to
pay the school district $15 million.
Honeywell International Inc.’s $15 million settlement falls short of the
$180 million in damages and attorney fees that the school district was

would cover a $7 million loan to pay for the mold remediation and save the
district legal fees from a prolonged lawsuit.

attorney fees whose percentage is still being worked out, schools interim
superintendent Antonio Limon said.
