East Hampton School District Announces Court Date

Superintendent Richard Burns announced at Wednesday’s school board meeting that the East Hampton School District will be going to trial on May 4 to settle the lawsuit with Sandpebble Builders, 27east reports.

The lawsuit began in 2006 when the Southampton-based company, owned by Victor Canseco, sued the district for $3.75 million. The two entered into a $18 million contract for renovations, but the district terminated the contract, according to 27east.

Sandpebble claimed the contract was wrongfully terminated after signing with another construction company for an $80 million contract, according to 27east.
