High school student and her family sued Board of Education, after a fellow student physically attacked her off-campus. Court properly held that Board was immune from suit. Board's alleged failure to prevent on-campus harassment depended on discretionary decisions about school discipline. Board's alleged failure to protect Plaintiff from off-camps attack involves police protection. Plaintiff did not sufficiently allege that Board spoiled evidence by not preserving a diary, which was in her school locker, where she recorded the attacker's harassment.(NEVILLE and MASON, concurring.)
