## Opinion text

PER CURIAM.
Appellant contends that by the enactment of Fla.Stat. § 230.23, F.S.A., the Legislature has abolished the sovereign immunity *180 of school boards in all cases involving- injury to persons lawfully on school property. Such an interpretation of the statute is strained and not in accordance with the legislative purpose. See Howarth v. City of De Land, 117 Fla 692, 158 So. 294 (1934); Peninsular Industrial Ins. Co. v. State, 61 Fla. 376 , 55 So. 398 (1911).
Affirmed.
