Battered teacher's case against St. Paul schools dismissed

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Thursday filed by a St. Paul teacher who aimed to hold the school district responsible for his 2015 beating by a Central High student.

John Ekblad, who taught physical science and was injured while working as a paid lunchroom supervisor, failed to prove his case merited consideration beyond the remedies provided by the state’s workers’ compensation system, U.S. District Judge David Doty ruled.
