(KLZA)--Falls City School Superintendent Tim Heckenlively briefed the Board of Education Monday night concerning a lawsuit filed against School District 56 by Steven Riggs and Heather Roberts.
The school district has hired the Knudson Law Firm to represent them in the civil case.
Riggs was an eighth grader on the Middle School track team in 2017 when he was hit by a car while walking from the Middle School to Falls City High School for track practice.
The tort claim seeks payment for medical expenses and seeks compensation for permanent injury.
