Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

November 14, 1984.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Clyde A. Ramirez, I. David Warner, III, Patricia D. Miskewicz, New Orleans, for plaintiff-appellee.

James A. Gray, II, Jefferson, Bryan & Gray, New Orleans, for defendants-appellants.

Before GULOTTA, SCHOTT and WARD, JJ.


SCHOTT, Judge.

This suit arose out of an accident in which six year old Jasmin Augustus was injured while playing on the grounds of Craig Elementary School in New Orleans. From a judgment in favor of the child's mother, defendant, Orleans Parish School Board, has appealed. The issue is whether the Board is liable as a matter of law to the child's parent, because of lack of supervision even though the accident occurred after school hours.
