Which of the following standards should Mr. Stephan use in determining whether or not the recess supervisors breached their duty of care?
Mr. Stephan is the new principal of Edgewood elementary school. During the first week of school 4th grader Lindsay Smith was injured at recess. Lindsay's injuries included a sprained wrist and a large gash on her face requiring several stitches. Lindsay will need plastic surgery to hide the scar left by the cut. Two teachers were assigned recess duty at the time of the injury. The accident report indicates that Lindsay was playing a tag football game with several 6th grade boys. Neither supervising teacher saw the accident, but the boys testified that Lindsay collided with one of the boys and was knocked to the ground. Lindsay's insurance company is considering suing the district, the two teachers individually and Mr. Stephan to recover the cost of the emergency room visit, the plastic surgery, Lindsay's pain and suffering, and her parents lost wages. Mr. Stephan has been asked to investigate the incident.
A. The supervisors took all available action to prevent the injury to Lindsay
B. The supervisors took actions normally expected of recess supervisors
C. The supervisors took reasonably prudent actions in supervising recess
