In a cause of action against a school board for an injury occurring to a student may extend to sports or athletic activities. In other words, the school or school board has a statutory duty to supervise the students during an athletic activity. For example, in a personal injury claim brought by a high school soccer player against a school board arising from the negligent supervision of the coach from the opposing team, the school board may still be held liable where the coach increased the risk of injury to the student.

Additionally, if a school requires a student to sign a release form which releases a school board from liability if the student is injured, such a release may be binding and release the school board from any liability. The West Palm Beach Child Injury law firm of Sharmin and Sharmin P.A. will advise a plaintiff that if such a release states unambiguously and clearly the intent to release a school and school board from "any liability," it may be binding against the parent who executed the document and the student, since the parent has the authority to waive the student's rights and give permission for the student to participate in the school activity.
