School district may be liable for bullying on school bus

I have blogged before on cases that discuss whether a school or school district can be liable for bullying (see here).  Now comes news that a federal court in Pennsylvania recently allowed portions of a couple’s civil rights complaint to proceed against a school district after their autistic 6-year-old son was allegedly beaten on a school bus on two separate occasions. They have plausibly alleged certain school officials placed the child in harm’s way by ignoring warnings about another student with documented, violent behavior.  You find a link to the decision here.
