31 | Athletic Mal-"Practices" and Student Injuries


Listen Later

When are schools legally responsible for student injuries during athletic activities? Where is the line between a creative drill and an unnecessary risk? Was the school out of bounds? It’s no slam dunk, but these cases might have you crying foul! Today's episode is a double-header! We’re heading down to the athletic department to talk about two cases where sports practices resulted in students getting injured. From a basketball drill gone wrong to an errant baseball throw, what happens when a school allegedly “drops the ball” with school safety? These are the cases of Secky v. New Paltz Central School District and Grady v. Chenango Valley Central School District. Game on! We also discuss a recent injunction that prevents Louisianna from implementing their new law that would have required all classrooms in the state to post the Ten Commandments.
