Supreme Court of Connecticut

Doe v. Madison

July 30, 2021340 Conn. 1

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgments for the town, board of education, and principal in claims arising from a teacher's sexual abuse of three students. It held that the evidence did not establish a breach of the ministerial duty to report suspected abuse, a sufficiently specific ministerial duty governing professional attire, or circumstances making the students subject to imminent harm apparent to officials. It also held that monitoring security-camera footage was discretionary because no policy prescribed how or when the footage had to be monitored.
