    How can the school system be at fault when a student assaulted another student? Where they aware of it and did nothing?

    I like the part where they wanted the case dismissed because their insurance didn’t cover it -geeze there’s a great defense – The school did not protect this child nor did they make the school accessable to the student without fear of retaliation – BBAAADDDD SCHOOL!!!!!

    Six years ago a mentally disabled child was abused another sixth grader. Rather than protect the child and allow him to receive an education, the school district didn’t want to be bothered and treated the victim as if he had asked for it and treated his mother poorly. Lawyers became involved and six years later, the school may have to face a trial for their conduct. Normally when a school buys insurance that covers an event, it waives its sovereign immunity. Here where the real issue is prospective failure to protect a disabled child from abuse, the school faces a constitutional issue.
