Book Description
This booklet reviews a broad array of factors affecting the immunity of school board members from personal liability for the results of their official acts. Among the factors examined are the federal doctrine of limited immunity as it applies to state officials; the possible extension of absolute immunity to school boards; the conditions under which school boards as official bodies that are legally constituted "persons" may be liable for their actions (according to the findings of the United States Supreme Court in "Monell v. New York City Department of Social Services"); the extent to which neglecting to prevent the unconstitutional activities of others may make the board member liable; and legal waivers of state sovereign immunity. Also addressed are procedural considerations relating to court litigation in cases involving claims of immunity; special immunity in cases involving claims of libel or slander; and claims under state law. The booklet also considers the damages to which board members may be subject, notes interesting cases in which the immunity doctrine has been applied, and points out nine actions that boards can take to reduce or avoid liability.

An Analysis of Legal Liability of Virginia Educators and School Systems

Book Description
The doctrine of sovereign immunity in the Commonwealth of Virginia has evolved over time and the redefinition of the doctrine has been subjected to the interpretation by courts involving cases with varied facts and circumstances that have challenged the boundaries and flexibility of this legal concept. Determining the protection that a state agent was entitled to was the guiding principle in case law regarding sovereign immunity; however, understanding the purpose and intent of the doctrine of sovereign immunity was critical to determining the boundaries and criteria of the doctrine of immunity. In this dissertation, the researcher analyzed tort law as it applied to educators and public-school districts through the Virginia court system under common law and the Virginia Tort Claims Act (VTCA, 1981). The case analysis provided an overview of lawsuits heard and decisions rendered in negligence cases brought against educators and educational entities prior to and after the enactment of the Virginia Tort Claims Act in 1981.
