VERDICT From IB Richard Kilgore. This isn't the first time a school district has been held at least partly responsible for an al- tercation on a school campus. In 1994 a Palm Beach County jury awarded a former Santjiluces High School student $50,000 after he was beaten by other youths in 1991. The school district was found 66 percent negligent mthat case, and the students who inflicted the beating were found.34 percent negligent. In the Fort Pierce Axley, then 16, was injured after he loaned his radio to another studentwho refused to give it back.

The teacher intervened, forcing the student to return Axley's radio, according to court documents. As the two students left the portable classroom, the angry student punched Axley from As a result, Axley underwent surgery to repair broken bones around his right eye. Also, his doctors testified he still- has headaches and swelling o.his lower eyelid. Axley's attorneys argued that the teacher, William could have taken additional steps to prevent the attack. He could have removed the other student from the classroom or signaled; Ihe front office for help by using a panic button in the classroom, said attorney Paul Also, he should have anticipated trouble because another student in the classroom egged the boy on during class, McMa-hon said.

The school district's defense attorneys said Bell acted properly and that he did not hear theother student's comments. The four-day trial, presided by Senior Judge Rupert Smith, was Axley's second. Judge Robert Hawley halted Axley's first trial March 29 after two jurors; 'told him they were contacted 'by a Palm Beach Post reporter. The reporter said she was trying to call jurors from a different case and was given the wrong jury list by a court clerk. ladyherefordpbpost.com GRANT REVELS PERRY Of Royal Palm Beach, FL.
