An East San Jose school district long plagued by accusations of financial mismanagement is suing four former board members for allegedly refusing to return the “excessive and wasteful compensation” the district mistakenly paid them.

In the recent lawsuits filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court, the Alum Rock Union School District is seeking reimbursement for paying too much in health and welfare benefits to former board members Karen Martinez, Esau Herrera, Dolores Marquez and Khanh Tran. The lawsuits allege they each owe the district more than $10,000.
