Owusu v. Renton School District

Plaintiff claims that Renton was responsible for the increased risk of identity theft stemming from the Data Security Incident and asserts claims including negligence. The Lawsuit seeks, among other things, payment for persons who were injured by the Data Security Incident.

Renton denies all of the claims made in the Lawsuit, as well as all charges of wrongdoing or liability against it.

You are part of this settlement as a Class member if you are an individual residing in the United States whose Private Information was compromised in the Data Security Incident publicly disclosed by Renton School District in or around February 2024.

The settlement provides for two types of cash payments: (i) up to $500 in reimbursement for documented ordinary out-of-pocket losses and up to 3 hours calculated at $30 per hour for time reasonably spent responding to the Data Security Incident; and (ii) up to $5,000 in reimbursement for documented extraordinary out-of-pocket losses resulting from actual identity theft. You may submit a claim for any of the above-listed remedies. To claim each type of remedy, you must provide information and/or documentation with the Claim Form. If, after all other payments and expenses are paid for out of the Settlement Fund, there remain any funds in the Settlement Fund, any Settlement Class Members who have submitted a claim for any of the other settlement benefits will be paid a pro rata share of the residual funds up to $500 per Settlement Class Member.

Renton has also agreed that it has undertaken, and will continue to undertake, certain reasonable steps to enhance the security deployed to secure access to its data network.
