Violent Behaviors
Considerations
1.Did anyone require medical care? 2.Was a weapon involved? 3.Was the violence related to another violation of S-3?
If you answered YES to any of the above, you should consult with the Safe Schools Specialist regarding a district-level referral; otherwise you should apply appropriate school-level discipline.
Focus on safety first, provide aide or contact a nurse if needed
Trust but verify! Check cameras Interview witnesses and friends Talk to parents Find the root cause of the issue and identify ways to address it non- violently
