The problem is to determine the circumstances and conditions prerequisite to liability under attractive nuisance as it applies to public schools in the State of California. In answering this problem an attempt will be made to clarify for the school administrator sundry areas in attractive nuisance, as follows: 1) What constitutes the action of negligence?; 2) What is the history of the attractive nuisance doctrine in England where it originated, and in the United States?; 3) What is the attractive nuisance doctrine as recognized in the State of California?; 4) What distinction does California make between negligence and attractive nuisance as they apply to school districts?; 5) What are possible situations under which lawsuits in attractive nuisance may culminate into judgments against school districts?; 6) Why have California courts to date rendered no decision on attractive nuisance against a school district?

Workshop educators have a legal duty with regard to health and safety in the school workshop for the protection of the learners in their care. It is expected of the workshop educators to look after the learners placed in their care as a conscientious and solicitous parent would. The workshop educator's discretion and conduct should always be based on predictable and preventable action. Because learners cannot possibly have the discernment of adults concerning more or less dangerous situations, the workshop educator should make provision for this possibility in the health and safety management of the school workshop. Common law principles such as duty of care, predictability and preventability, in addition to requirements for delictual liability (an act, unlawfulness, fault, causality and damage) demarcate and elucidate the role of the workshop educator who is responsible for the safety management of the school workshop. Workshop educators should ascertain that they are familiar with all these principles. A literature survey was undertaken with regard to these matters. Although workshop educators are responsible for the health and safety of the learners in their care, the literature survey revealed that health and safety in workshops in general is addressed and made compulsory by legislation, but that the specific needs of the school workshop are not adequately addressed. The aims of the empirical research were to determine: • the functioning of health and safety management in the contemporary school workshop and • to what extent the workshop educator is equipped for his duty of care responsibility with regards to the health and safety of the learners placed in his care. Questions were asked on the knowledge and execution of health and safety rules laid down by legislation, as well as the knowledge and execution of safety rules which are not necessarily laid down by legislation. Questions on safety rules devised by the respondents to improve the health and safety in the school workshop were also included in the questionnaire. The empirical study lead to the following: • The respondents seemed to have a reasonable knowledge of general health and safety rules laid down by legislation but in questions asked to verify the above mentioned answers, it seemed that the respondents were in some cases ignorant about these health and safety rules. Some of the respondents seem to ignore the safety rules in the execution of the health and safety rules. • A small number of the respondents seem to have a good knowledge of health and safety rules which are not necessarily laid down by legislation. • Quite a number of the respondents reported health and safety rules specifically devised for school workshops by their respective schools. Specific recommendations have been made and a model for health and safety management in the school workshop has been devised. This model should lead to better health and safety management in the school workshop and should thus ensure a safer school workshop for learners. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Education))--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2003.

The purpose of the study was to investigate current liability insurance practices for professional school corporation personnel in Indiana. Fifty rural and fifty urban school corporations were surveyed with regard to: (1) number and character of suits against school corporations or professional. school corporation personnel, (2) amount of current liability insurance protection carried by school corporations, (3) degree of legal representation of school corporations and school corporation personnel, and (4) opinions of respondents about educational malpractice. An instrument developed to gather data elicited responses from 52 percent of urban and 6-8 percent of rural school corporations in the sample.An analysis of data was completed to test two null hypotheses with regard to: (1) need for liability insurance and (2) employment of legal counsel. Additional data were compiled arid reported descriptively in order to draw conclusions regarding the current status of personal liability insurance protection within Indiana school corporations. Findings of the study included:Urban school corporations had a significantly greater need for liability insurance as measured by number of suits involving school corporations or professional school corporation personnel. Respondents from 57.7 percent of urban school corporations reported involvement in at least thirty liability actions between 1972 and 1977. Respondents from 26.5 percent of rural school corporations reported involvement in ten liability actions between 1972 and 1977.Negligence and personal injury were grounds most often reported for school related liability actions, especially in actions involving urban school corporations.Judgments rendered against rural school corporations were settled for an average of $9,975. Judgments against urban school corporations were settled for an average of $14,506.Written teacher dismissal policies had been established by 58.8 percent of rural and 88.5 percent of urban school corporations.Results of a Chi-Square test indicated that no significant difference existed between rural and urban school corporations in the employment of legal counsel. Urban school corporations pay more than twice the yearly fee for legal services dealing with personal liability than rural school corporations. Legal counsel provided by school corporations would not represent employees from almost 40 percent of Indiana school corporations in liability litigation.Urban school corporations provide for more types of liability, greater amounts of coverage, and larger deductibles for liability insurance than rural counterparts. Deductibles in excess of $1,000 were obtained on 16.9 percent of all coverages with deductibles purchased by rural school corporations and on 52.6 percent of all coverages with deductibles purchased by urban school corporations. Four rural and nine urban school corporations reported deductibles of $10,000.Amount of annual premium paid varies with type and amount of coverage, amount of deductible, school corporation enrollment, number of school officials and number of school employees covered. Rural school corporations were providing liability insurance protection at an average premium rate of $1.20 per student enrolled. Urban school corporations were providing liability insurance protection at an average premium rate of $1.17 per student enrolled.School officials and employees from rural school corporations which have not been involved in liability actions tend to be less wary of implications of educational malpractice than school officials and employees from urban school corporations or from rural school corporations which have been involved in liability actions.
