Description
1 Elkhorn Area School District and its insurer, Community Insurance Corporation, appeal from a judgment entered after trial. Elkhorn argues that the circuit court erred when it concluded that the known and present danger exception to governmental immunity applied and exposed Elkhorn to liability for injuries Lisa Voss sustained while wearing "fatal vision goggles" in her health class. We conclude that the nature of the goggles, which replicate the effects of alcohol consumption on the body, the exercises the teacher instructed the students to carry out while wearing the goggles, and the environment in which the teacher conducted those exercises, created a hazardous situation that admitted of only a single, self-evident response--the teacher should have called an end to the exercises. The known and present danger exception applies. We affirm.
