In a cause of action for the injury to a child during school or a school related activity, a school's duty to adequately supervise its students, may be breached by its failure to provide a student with security against an assault by a stranger on school grounds. Therefore, a school board has a duty to protect its students from assaults by other students, and a school board is not relieved of its duty to supervise its students or liability for the failure to meet such duty where an assault is made by one student on another, on the theory that the injured student's injuries were caused by the intervening and intentional act of the student causing the injury. For example, a school breached its duty to provide adequate supervision to its students when a six-year-old student was injured by a classmate who assaulted him by puncturing his leg with a pencil, where the evidence proved that the school principal negligently deviated from the requirements of a county school manual by not having available school teachers on duty as supervisory personnel at the classroom doorways. Additionally, a school board has a duty to protect teachers and other school personnel from assaults by students and non-students alike.
