In Eric M. v. Cajon Valley Union Sch. Dist., published May 27, 2009, the Fourth District Court of Appeal, Division One, held that a school district that adopted a transportation plan for students might owe a duty of care under Education Code 44808 to a six-year-old who exited a school bus -- because he thought he saw his father's car at the school yard to pick him up -- and was hit by a car. Whether a duty existed, and whether it was breached, depended on disputed facts. The court therefore reversed summary adjudication for the school district.
