hearing"(Goss v. Lopez). This case would be a Con for the school district of Ray Knight because
he was not given "some kind of hearing" (Goss v. Lopez) which means that his parents have a
possible chance of winning the case. The school did not take the accurate precautions once it
came to Ray Knight's suspension and with him getting shoot on the first day of suspension; that
is a tragedy that cannot be ignored by the district.
The last case that I am going to inform you of is Carr v. School Board of Pasco County.
This case is about a student named "Michael Car who participated in the Hudson High School
President's Challenge, a physical activity and fitness awards program"(Carr v. School Board of
Pasco County). During the race in which 100 students attending he hurt his knee badly and sued
the district for liability. In this case I think that it would be a Con case because Michael was hurt
in the school and because there was a bench on the track that should not had been there. The
reason for that is because the correct precautions were no taking by the teachers in charge which
provoked both Ray and Michael to get injured.
In conclusion I believe that Ray's parents do not have defensible grounds to pursue
liability charges against school officials. I think that the possible ruling in this case is that the
district will win because the accident did not happen in school. Also" as a general rule, school
districts are not expected to protect truant and non- attending students"(Cambron Pg. 25) . The
district and school can be help responsible for every injury that happens to their students. Ray
broke the rules by not giving the note to his parents and by also not going home and being safe.
Thankfully there are laws that can keep the teachers and administrators safe from sues.
