The school district as a whole was sued, not the nurse directly. They did have insurance, but the fact that this woman still won (she apparently has a history of frivolous lawsuits) is the reason why school districts are scared shitless of parents.
It's a combination of this fear as well as board members who have been there for 40 years and don't want to change anything that might jeopardize their positions which keep public schools from progressing forward.
