School Negligence Legal Action

Summary

Schools have a duty to supervise students and ensure their safety. If a school fails to address truancy or incidents like pepper spray attacks, it may be considered negligent. Parents can file formal complaints with the school district and consult an education law attorney to explore legal options. Gathering evidence such as school records, medical reports, and police reports is crucial for building a strong case. Consider sharing this evidence with your attorney to expedite the legal process.

Hi Miranda! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
starting in * my fourteen year old became a ninth grader at port angeles highschool. Within the first week she skipped almost everyday, and the first Friday she rode the school bus to another students home. I was not made aware that my child had been delivered to an unknown adults house via the school bus. Instead I had to make missing child posters and put them up in local businesses. I worked with the local sheriffs to find my child with no help from the highschool. She skipped about * periods her 9th grade year. I was at the school everyday, even walking her to each class to make sure she stayed in school because the school refused to supervise her. the children
