Case Details

Successful appeal reversing summary judgment in Agbeti v. Los Angeles Unified School District, establishing school districts' duty of care to supervise students in after-school programs and protect them from sexual assault and battery. The case involved a second-grade girl sexually assaulted by a student during an after-school program due to inadequate supervision.

Additional Notes

The trial court had granted summary judgment to the L.A.U.S.D., finding no duty to supervise or protect. The Court of Appeal unanimously reversed, remanding for trial and establishing a special relationship and affirmative duty of care for school districts in after-school programs.
