Father sues Jelgava school and city council over daughter's PE class incident

A dispute in Jelgava between the father of an elementary school pupil and the local education authorities has developed into a legal battle spanning several years. The conflict traces back to an incident during a physical education class, when a ball struck the young girl in the stomach.

Following the incident, the father, reportedly angered by what happened and by the school's response, decided to take the matter to court. The lawsuit names both the school itself and the Jelgava city council, which serves as the school's founding authority and bears responsibility for its operations.

A prolonged legal process

The dispute between the parties has not been resolved quickly — the legal proceedings have dragged on for years. The father contends that the treatment his daughter received at school amounts to mobbing, and this claim has become the central issue in the court case.

The precise circumstances of the sports class incident, along with how the school and municipality responded to the family's complaints, are tied to a long history of disagreement between the two sides. The conflict between the family and the educational institution continues, with the case's outcome ultimately resting in the court's hands.
