ROBERTS, J.

dissenting in part.

For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Espinosa v. Southern Pacific Trans., 50 Or App 561, 624 P2d 162 (1981),I also dissent from the holding in the present case that the school district’s liability is limited by ORS 30.270 when the district has available insurance which exceeds the liability limits of that statute.

Campbell, J., Pro Tempore, joins in this dissenting opinion.
