School Liability

School liability refers to the legal responsibility schools have to ensure the safety and well-being of their students while on school property or during school-related activities. If a student is injured due to negligence—like unsafe conditions, lack of supervision, or inadequate response to known risks—the school may be held liable for damages. This concept underscores the importance of proper maintenance, staff training, and adherence to safety protocols to protect students and prevent legal repercussions. Essentially, schools must take reasonable steps to prevent harm or accidents involving students.
