School Districts in California maybe held liable when administrators and school staff fail to notify parents or disclose physical or sexual assault of a child to parents or guardians. Usually School administrators have a duty to inform parents after learning of a molestation, sexual assault or physical abuse of a child. Furthermore, school districts may be held liable for emotional distress of the mother if such injuries resulted from a failure to disclose pertinent information regarding the incident. The Standard of Care imposed on Los Angeles Unified School District employees including teachers, coaches, and general staff the degree of care a reasonable person with the level of duties and responsibilities would exercise. Usually, the extent of the duties owned by teachers and other staff to their students is based upon the age of the student. In special circumstances such as special students with special needs, cognitive difficulties or physical disabilities should be provided with a heightened level of care by school staff. If a failure of duty of care results in sexual abuse, rape and molestation of a student then the School District may be held liable.
