Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Mar 22, 2022
Isabella Gray-Ross, Appellant, vs. St. Louis Public Schools, Respondents.
Isabella Gray-Ross sued individual employees of St. Louis Public Schools for negligence after she was attacked during a high school soccer match, sustaining a traumatic brain injury and orbital blowout fracture. The trial court granted the individual respondents' motions to dismiss, finding them protected by official immunity. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the duties alleged against both the security guard and supervisory personnel were discretionary, not ministerial, and therefore official immunity barred Gray-Ross's claims as a matter of law.
