QUESTION: Can I sue the school if my underage child was in a sport without my consent? My child was seriously injured while playing touch football, and there was no coach or any staff supervising the children’s recreational activities. ANSWER: The Education Code of California imposes a duty on schools to supervise students while in the premises or performing school-sponsored activities (Ed.C. § 44807). But a school district’s duty to supervise students under Ed.C. § 44807 does not replace the assumption of the risk as applied to organized extracurricular sports,.
