it's not even about lawsuits. i believe most of these admins are true believers that we should devote disproportionate amount of our resources to "save" the kids, at the expense of educating the 95% of the student population.

anecdotal story here - but I spent the years 2000-2013 teaching high school math where the principal openly stated it was about preventing lawsuits - that the School Board was deathly afraid of lawsuits. That and maintaining attendance levels were their only motivations.

I don't recall a single meeting where the emphasis was on improving the learning environment.
