It is commonly accepted that school liability has increased over the past several years, especially in the area of tort liability.

However, an analysis of recent decisions in negligence cases brought against schools indicates that the frequency of lawsuits generally has not changed over the past two decades. Moreover, the majority of outcomes have been decided conclusively in favor of the school.
