School District responsibility

A school district can be found responsible for a defective condition on their property if they have notice of the decision. The appellate Court in Gille v. Long Beach City School Dist. ,(N.Y.A.D. 2 Dept.)held that there were genuine issues of material fact as to whether a school district negligently supervised a student and his classmates, and whether the school district had actual or constructive notice of the defective condition. Therefore, the school district was not entitled to summary judgment in the student's action seeking to recover damages for injuries he allegedly sustained when a window shade fell and struck him in the head and eye.
