Caveat – Any of the Court of Appeals cases listed may currently be on review pending reconsideration.
Dinsmoor v. City of Phoenix and Deer Valley USD 1 CA-CV 19-0045 (6/30/20)
A high school student shot and killed his classmate and then himself off campus. The classmate had previously reported threats to the school safety officer. These threats were made against another classmate. The school district contacted the parent of the other classmate, but did not contact the parents of the shooter or the one he killed. The Arizona Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s granting summary judgment in favor of the city of Phoenix, finding no duty. The Court of Appeals reversed summary judgment against the school district, finding that the district clearly owed a duty, and that the duty does not end at the edge of the campus. The Court of Appeals reversed summary judgment against the officer, finding sufficient factual basis that a jury could find that the officer was acting as an agent of the district.
