Haase v. Kankakee School District 111

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that the school district and its teacher were immune from liability under section 3-108 of the Tort Immunity Act because the evidence established, at most, negligent failure to supervise, not willful and wanton conduct. The court also held that the plaintiffs could not defeat summary judgment by relying on an unpleaded theory that the district independently breached a duty to inform the teacher about the student's disciplinary history. The court reversed the appellate court and affirmed summary judgment for the defendants on both counts.
