Heading: Whether Jennifer adequately stated a claim for negligent supervision.

Text: The district court stayed entry of summary judgment for thirty days. CCSD argues that Jennifer failed to state a cause of action of negligent supervision and that she waived this claim by not amending her complaint within the thirty-day period. Jennifer's complaint alleged that CCSD failed to warn the children attending the school to keep away from this dangerous area and, in fact, ordered the children to sit on the wall next to the dangerous area and were negligent in other ways as well. Complaints are liberally construed to do substantial justice. Hay v. Hay, 100 Nev. 196, 678 P.2d 672 (1984); NRCP 8(f). We conclude that the allegation just quoted sufficiently placed CCSD on notice of a claim of negligent supervision. Thus, Jennifer did not need to amend her complaint.
