Michigan city scape in grey
Marko Law Firm

Can a school district be held responsible for unsafe facilities?

Yes, under certain conditions. Schools must maintain reasonably safe buildings and grounds.

If a student is injured because of:

  • Broken stairs
  • Unsafe playground equipment
  • Poorly maintained facilities

the district may be liable, especially if the danger was known and ignored.

Michigan law includes exceptions to governmental immunity for defective public buildings. When safety is neglected, accountability should follow.
