This brings to $44 million the amount of claims brought against the district in relation to the abuse charges.

The district started looking into the situation in February this year after four students came forward with charges that they had been molested by members of the football team in the locker room dating back to September 2015.

Chandler Police have forwarded the case to the Maricopa County District Attorney's Office, which is still investigating.
