APPRAISAL

In normal circumstances, the provisions of UCA 26-24-22(4) would apply. It states that anyone who violates the health section of the code is guilty of a class B or A misdemeanor. This would give a maximum limitation of five years. However, since school districts are involved, and since individuals running public schools are public officers, the provisions of UCA 78-12-24, which gives the state six years to bring action against a public official for malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance, should apply.
