Teacher injured in Central High attack was at fault, district alleges

The civil case involving a St. Paul teacher assaulted by a Central High student in December has surfaced in a new venue and with a new claim by the district that his injuries were due in part to his own negligence -- and not the school district's.

The St. Paul Public Schools argues in its response to a complaint filed against the district by teacher John Ekblad that he was careless and negligent, and knowingly took on the risk of injury when he intervened in a fight between students during a cafeteria melee on Dec. 4.
