New Earth — Culver City Unified School District student-support contract and litigation

2022-2026 2022-2026 Summary judgment granted to CCUSD September 18, 2026; September 23 docket snapshot still showed judgment-submission review pending
At a glance

Direct institutional relationship between New Earth Organization and Culver City Unified School District beginning with a 2022 student-support arrangement and later resulting in Los Angeles Superior Court case 24STCV13243. New Earth sued for breach of contract and related relief, asserting that its Year 2 price was $1.5 million and that the District's $600,000 payment left $900,000 unpaid. CCUSD disputed that theory. On September 18, 2026, the court granted CCUSD summary judgment, concluding that New Earth failed to raise a triable issue that its proposal governed the parties' Year 2 relationship and treating the District's $600,000 purchase order as a counteroffer.

Context note

CCR now preserves the actual litigation files rather than relying on a third-party reproduction of the ruling. The complaint's contract allegations, CCUSD's answer and motion arguments, and Yana Grammer's declaration are identified as party positions or sworn testimony where appropriate. The September 18, 2026 court order is the controlling source for what the court decided: the District's motion was granted, the proposal did not govern Year 2 at the asserted $1.5 million price, and the implied-covenant claim failed with the contract claim. The September 23 docket snapshot showed the case as pending while submission of judgment remained under review.
