Putnam County class injury case prompts school board immunity debate
In October 1972 Sovine cut plywood at the Putnam County Vocational Technical Center and lost part of a finger while alleging injuries. The circuit court dismissed the Putnam school board on governmental immunity grounds but allowed action against instructor Smith. State law allows education boards liability insurance, which neither district carried. The appeal also covers criminal cases including a man contesting a grand larceny conviction and a separate involuntary manslaughter sentence with jail credit issues.
