On the Call: Serious Bodily Injury
Telling someone to “break a leg” might be a way to wish them good luck, but for one Massachusetts school district, a fractured leg was no laughing matter. In this episode, Jeremy and Erin discuss a case where a hearing officer ruled that a staff member’s fractured leg—caused during a student fight—didn’t qualify as “serious bodily injury” under IDEA because it wasn’t “inflicted” by the student. They provide practical strategies for navigating student removals, MDRs, and the burdens of proof, offering essential tips to help districts steer clear of litigation pitfalls.
