Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
11Plaintiff, S.J. individually and as tutor of her minor daughter, C.C., filed the instant petition for damages against the Lafayette Parish School Board and Gladys Marie Reed, a teacher employed at the Lafayette Middle School. Plaintiff alleged defendants were negligent for their failure to exercise adequate and/or reasonable supervision over C.C. while she attended a school sanctioned activity.
Upon defendants' motion, the district court granted summary judgment and dismissed plaintiffs suit with prejudice, finding a school board had no duty to safeguard a child after he or she leaves school property. The court of appeal affirmed the judgment of the district court in an unpublished opinion. We granted plaintiffs' application for certiorari to consider the correctness of that ruling.
We now render judgment, consisting of this decree.
DECREE
The judgment of the district court granting summary judgment in favor of defendants is reversed. The case is remanded to the district court for further proceedings.
