[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]The students parents are mow suing for $3 million.[/quote]

According to the Post, it is actually $11 million. Strangely, the lawsuit was filed in PG County. I wonder if that is where the student lives?

That would be almost perfect if the District ends up paying $11 million to a PG resident who attended a corruptly-run charter schools and was on the receiving end of this particular act, which was performed by another Maryland resident.

This is a charter school.  Why would the city be liable?  I thought charters had to self-insure.[/quote]

Isn't the Public Charter School Board also part of DC government? [b] Or is it a private organization?[/b]  As little actual power as PCSB has over individual charters, they are the governing agency, so they can definitely be sued, whether they are part of DC government or not.[/quote]
I thought it was a private organization, not positive on this assumption.  They are appointed by charter school members, not DC officials.  And it is not an elected body.  And yes, anyone can be sued.  I was just wondering if liability falls on the taxpayers of DC.  Also, there might be a finding of liability, but what are the damages.  The boy disseminated the video.

The DCPCSB members are appointed by the mayor. I actually don't know all the legal aspects of where the liability lies, but I'd be surprise if any financial ramifications didn't find their way back to DC taxpayers one way or another.
