Texas Supreme Court
Hopkins v. Spring Independent School Dist.
February 25, 1987736 S.W.2d 617
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for Spring Independent School District, holding that the Education Code’s §21.912 immunity shields professional school employees from liability for negligence resulting in bodily injury to students, that the "negligent discipline" exception does not apply, and that the Texas Tort Claims Act immunity bars liability for the bus supervisor because the injury was not caused by the operation or use of a motor vehicle.
