[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this latest move is not solely Elaine's blunder - it is owned by the entire SB and superintendent.  SB is really showing their colors on this one.  Incredible.

I think Elaine gets a pass on this one.  [/quote]

Nope - she and the board are supposed to defend and help kids, not petition the Supreme Court.  She owns this decision as much as any of them.[/quote]

That’s a stretch.  What’s left for other students if FCPS just capitulates in civil litigation and pays out huge settlements to every plaintiff who is a current or former student?  And this lawsuit arose from an alleged assault two years before Tholen was elected. [/quote]

What about the victim?  Tholen is here now, and can influence this decision.  If there are victims, and FCPS is somehow at fault, they should pay up.  I agree there are limits, but I dont think this passes the test.  Agree to disagree.[/quote]

I guess what’s unclear from the article is what damages the plaintiff is seeking that can fairly be said to result from FCPS’s alleged failure to respond properly to a report, as opposed to from the assault itself. I don’t mind that FCPS is seeking to clarify its responsibility and not just subject itself to a potentially large jury verdict rendered by a jury that might be at least as confused. [/quote]
