Liability Question

The question of district/personal liability for injury resulting from building failure was raised in the discussion about delaying the next school bond vote until March 2012. Upon further investigation, this question was discussed in October 2009 after a failed safety inspection of our buildings. An inspector apparently mentioned that failure to act on the information brought to light in the inspection could result in personal liability.

With the Salmon Board of Trustees' actions moving forward with school bond attempts, it is difficult to make any argument for inaction on the part of the Board or District. We will proceed as planned and do our best to keep the buildings safe for our students and to keep the public informed as decisions are made regarding the buildings.
