A high school student’s lengthy record of “disruptive conduct,” including 11 suspensions, may have been sufficient to put school administrators on notice that the student had dangerous propensities, a state judge has ruled.
In Hodge v. Town of Hempstead Board of Education, 22061/07, Supreme Court Justice Thomas Feinman of Nassau County (See Profile) held that plaintiff Tyrus Hodge could proceed with his claim that Elmont High School failed to adequately supervise the cafeteria where another student, Anthony Jones, punched him in the face and broke his jaw.
The Nassau Supreme Court decision appears on page 39 of the print edition of today’s Law Journal.
