DSB obtained summary judgment in Supreme Court, Suffolk County, on behalf of a local school district. The minor plaintiff was struck by a motor vehicle and suffered injuries after leaving his high school. Plaintiff alleged that the school district’s failure to provide crossing guards and to otherwise supervise the minor plaintiff was a cause of their injuries. DSB argued that the accident occurred off of school grounds and outside of the orbit of its authority. The Supreme Court, Suffolk County, agreed and held that the incident occurred when the minor plaintiff was off school property, after being dismissed from an after-school science fair, and beyond the orbit of the school’s authority, and accordingly, the complaint was dismissed.
