In a cause of action for the injury to a child during school or a school related activity, a school board generally has no sovereign immunity defense for the negligent performance of an operational duty. Generally, the school or school board has a statutory duty to supervise the students under their care and control. Therefore, the school or school board has an obligation to supervise a student as long as that student is on the school premises. Accordingly, a school breaches its duty to provide adequate supervision to its students when it provides no supervision. School officials and teachers must carry out their duty to supervise by using the degree of care that a person of ordinary reasonable care, charged with the duties involved, would exercise under the same circumstances. A school official or teachers breach of that duty may expose the school to liability for any reasonably foreseeable injuries caused by the failure to use ordinary care. The scope of the duty is determined from the circumstances arising from the incident, the applicable statutes, and the rules and regulations adopted by the board to implement these statutory provisions.
