Fifth Circuit -- Jane Doe, et al v. Covington County Sch Dist, et al

Elementary school  students in public schools are shielded by a Deshaney responsibility to protect from third parties on the part of the state. 

Qualified immunity for school officials,as this is new law.

Dissent : Circuit split flagged, parents could have removed student from school at any time, no state-created danger.
