Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

How to sue Los Angeles Unified School District?

I need to sue my employer - Los Angeles Unified School District.

They withhold some of my earnings for a bogus reason. First: 1. I need to stop them and 2. return back money withheld.

Small claims court? Who do I serve?

There is no Agent for Service of Process. Do I need to file a complaint with some other above them organization before I sue?

Be sure to act quickly, as there are short limitations periods on most government claims.
