California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Johnson v. San Diego Unified School Dist., 217 Cal.App.3d 692, 266 Cal.Rptr. 187 (Cal. App. 1990):
The constitutional and derivative statutory scheme governing education in California does not intend to impose upon the state the duty to supervise school children attending schools operated by school districts, but rather to discharge the broad responsibilities of the state in educating its children through state agencies which are separate and distinct public entities. "There is no statute imposing liability on the state for the torts of such separate public entities." (Gonzales v. State of California, supra, 29 Cal.App.3d at p. 592, 105 Cal.Rptr. 804.)
