Please join us for a focused webinar on September 22, 2026 at 11 a.m. EST regarding the nationwide lawsuits by School Districts against Meta, TikTok, Snap, Google/YouTube, and others for harms caused by addictive social media platforms. Charter schools may have claims in these lawsuits but very few have joined, potentially leaving hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars on the table.
Background
Thousands of public-school districts across the United States— including at least twenty NC public school districts— are pursuing claims in the federal Social Media Adolescent Addiction MDL (3047) to recover unreimbursed costs for counseling, mental health support, disciplinary issues, and lost academic performance. We are beginning to see settlements, including a $16B – $18B settlement to State AGs, with $645M to North Carolina. A small Kentucky school district also recently settled its direct action claims for $27 million.
Charter schools have been largely absent from the litigation despite facing similar harms and costs. This session will cover the current status of the cases and potential options for charter schools.
Bellwether trials begin in Winter 2027. Cases are handled on a contingency basis (no upfront fees or expenses unless the claims are successfully litigated or settled).
This webinar is presented by Munn & Orth PLLC, a plaintiff law firm specializing in corporate and institutional plaintiffs like charter schools. The webinar is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
