Teacher Liability For Injuries

Summary

Teachers are typically not liable for injuries during student-organized meet-ups unless they directly organized or supervised the event. If a meet-up is independently organized by students, the teachers liability is limited. Discussing concerns with a school counselor or trusted teacher may provide support and guidance. Schools may have policies regarding student-teacher relationships on social media, so checking with school guidelines is advisable. If further assistance is needed, consulting a local legal expert could be beneficial.

In this situation, it seems the meet-up was independently organized by the students. Generally, teachers are not liable for injuries during such meet-ups unless they played a direct role in organizing or supervising the event.
