YOU'RE NOT BEING THE BALL, LOUIS

j0399966.jpgLouis Teodoro sued the Longwood Central School District (LCSD) after he was injured while learning to play golf.

The youngsters were told not to step forward until the preceding student finished taking a swing and released the golf club.

Louis was injured when he supposedly stepped forward prematurely and was hit in the face while another kid took a swing.

After the Suffolk County Supreme Court refused to dismiss the case, LCSD appealed to the Appellate Division, Second Department.

Schools can be held liable for foreseeable injuries when students aren't adequately supervised. In this instance, however, since the evidence established that the school's gymnasium was appropriately staffed, the case couldn't be maintained.

Par for the course?
