The doctrine of sovereign immunity in Florida has evolved over time as the common law and statutory environment within the state has changed. Public schools and public-school employees enjoy some level of immunity protection under both common law and statutory law. Nonetheless, Florida law creates a duty to provide a safe environment for students and creates potential liability in certain circumstances when a public school or public school employee fails to do so. In this dissertation, I analyzed litigation efforts and protections provided to public schools and public-school educators in Florida under the Florida Tort Claims Act (FTCA) of 1973 for claims of negligent supervision of students. This dissertation provided an in-depth analysis of negligence cases, statutes, protections, and lawsuits brought under common law after the passage of the Florida Tort Claims Act of 1973.
