Broward judge rules school district wasn’t obligated to issue warning over Parkland school shooter
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A judge ruled Monday that the Broward School District had no duty to warn parents or faculty about school shooter Nikolas Cruz. According to the order, signed by Judge Patti Englander Henning, the district can’t be liable for failing to predict what Cruz could have done in the future. According to the ruling, the School Board acknowledged that it had a duty to provide adequate security and reasonable protection to students and faculty. There are certainly issues remaining for which the School Board may be held liable.”Ad“We’re horrified,” said Royer Borges, one of the plaintiffs in the case. “We’ve never alleged that somehow the school district has to have a little crystal ball,” Brill said, “We’re talking about a duty to warn for the potential for harm.”Copyright 2021 by WPLG Local10.com - All rights reserved.
