Tucson Unified School District will receive $3.2 million from Altria Group as part of a class action lawsuit with thousands of school districts across the country.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Tucson Unified School District will soon start to receive several millions of dollars after settling a class action lawsuit against vaping companies.

This comes five months after the school district settled with Juul for just over $10 million. Both settlements are part of the same class action lawsuit. The school district will start receiving the money by the end of this year and will continue receiving it over the next few years. While the school district will not start receiving the money for several months, Shah said the district is working ahead.

The district’s lawyers will receive 25% of the settlement amount. After the deduction the district will be left with about $10.3 million between the two settlements.
