Santa Rosa City Schools has agreed to pay $6.25 million to settle lawsuits involving the families of two students caught in a deadly March 2023 stabbing at Montgomery High School. The settlement resolves legal action brought by the family of 16-year-old Jayden Pienta, who was killed in the fight, and the family of Daniel Pulido, the student who carried out the stabbing. The families' lawsuits alleged negligence on the part of the school district, arguing that officials failed to take sufficient action to curb escalating violence on its campuses prior to the tragedy.
