Montague v. School Board of Thornton Fractional Township North High School District 215

Plaintiff appeals from an order of the circuit court of Cook County allowing defendants’ motion for summary judgment. By an amended complaint, defendants were charged with wilful and wanton misconduct in connection with the supervision of a gym class during which plaintiff’s son, Michael Montague, was injured. On the basis of the complaint and the depositions of Michael and the class instructor, defendant Richard Daugherty, the trial court held as a matter of law that defendants were not guilty of wilful and wanton misconduct.
