This chapter summarizes recent state supreme court and federal court decisions involving the tort liability of school districts and school personnel. The cases discussed are generally limited to those decided during 1975 and reported in the General Digest as of March 1976, although a few 1974 cases not treated in the 1975 yearbook are also included. In his discussion, the author attempts to integrate related cases and to illuminate any unifying legal principles that underlie the decisions relevant to each specific subtopic of school liability. Separate sections of the article focus in turn on cases involving negligence, slander and libel, governmental immunity, insurance, transportation, individual liability of school personnel, and time limitations of the filing of damage claims.
