Tracy Boatright sued an Appling County school superintendent and board members after a cannon used in connection with school activities injured him. The defendants asserted official immunity, and the trial court dismissed the personal-injury claims. The Court of Appeals of Georgia reversed. It held that interpreting the criminal statute governing weapons in a school safety zone was not a discretionary act within the officials’ lawful authority. The complaint also plausibly alleged that the defendants exercised control over a cannon owned by the school district and knew of and encouraged its use. At the motion-to-dismiss stage, those allegations could not be rejected as incapable of supporting relief.
