The lawsuit was brought against Defendants alleging that they misrepresented and omitted material facts concerning the Make School PBC educational program, accreditation, and income share agreement (“ISA”) costs.
The Settlement Class Representatives and Class Counsel have concluded, after carefully considering the relevant facts and the applicable law, that it would be in the best interests of the Class to enter into this Settlement in order to avoid the uncertainties of litigation and obtain the benefits of this Settlement for the Class. After careful investigation and evaluation, the Settlement Class Representatives and Class Counsel believe the Settlement is fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of the Class.
Defendants deny the allegations, any wrongdoing, and any liability whatsoever, and believe they have many defenses to all of the claims asserted against it in the lawsuit. Defendants believe that they complied and continue to comply in all respects with the law and that no Settlement Class Member has sustained any damages or injuries. Nonetheless, Defendants have concluded that continuing the litigation would be protracted and expensive; and therefore have agreed to the Settlement.
The Settlement Class includes all persons who obtained an ISA from Make School PBC between and including June 1, 2015 to September 7, 2023, that remained outstanding as of April 28, 2023. Excluded from the Settlement Class are the judges to whom the Action is assigned and the members of their staff or immediate family.
| YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO ANYTHING. | If the Settlement is approved by the Court and you are a member of the settlement class, you will not need to do anything to receive relief. If the Court approves the Settlement, you will be bound by the Settlement unless you choose to exclude yourself from the class. |
| YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THE SETTLEMENT BY FEBRUARY 8 2024. | If you wish to exclude yourself, or "opt out" of the Settlement, you must submit your opt-out notice to the Settlement Administrator. |
| YOU MAY OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT BY FEBRUARY 8 2024. | If you wish to object to any part of the Settlement, you may write or e-mail the Settlement Administrator about why you object to the Settlement. |
| YOU MAY ATTEND THE FINAL APPROVAL HEARING TO BE HELD ON MARCH 22, 2024. | Whether or not a written objection is made, you may attend the Final Approval Hearing about the Settlement either in person or through counsel hired at your own expense. |
