NEW ORLEANS – An Illinois company alleges a school board owes it for property restoration after Hurricane Isaac.

Contents Recovery Experts LLC filed a complaint on July 6 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana against St. John the Baptist Parish Board of Education alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff was contracted in 2012 through CSRS Disaster Recovery Management as the defendant's mandatary for the cleaning and restoration of a property that was damaged by Hurricane Isaac.
