## Opinion text

MR. JUSTICE MORAN, concurring in the decision:
GeneraHy, a school district should not be held liable for all activities that may take place on its premises. Under the facts of this case, however, it is clear that the powder puff football game had, as pointed out in the dissent, “formerly been a part of the school program.” It is my opinion that the district, through its principal, was, in light of such precedent, required to take more consistent and positive action to overcome implied acquiescence and thereby absolve itself from liability.
