Graduated Response Model to Minor Infractions Sample Clauses

Graduated Response Model to Minor Infractions. Classroom Intervention - The classroom teacher has always played a prominent role in guiding, developing and reinforcing appropriate student conduct and is acknowledged as the first line in implementing the school discipline code and shaping school climate in the classroom. As such, this model begins with a range of classroom management techniques that should be implemented for minor classroom infractions prior to any other sanctions or interventions. Classroom intervention is managed by the teacher for behaviors that are passive and non-threatening such as dress code violations and violations of minor classroom rules. School Resource Officers (SROs) should not be involved at this level. Classroom intervention options might include redirection, re-teaching, school climate initiatives, moving seats and the teacher should initiate parental contact. School Administration Intervention - Classroom interventions must be supported by school administrators who address more serious or repetitive behaviors and behaviors in school but outside of the classroom. Examples of behaviors at this level include repetitive patterns, defacing school property, truancy, threats, and minor behaviors in hallways, bathrooms, courtyards and school buses. Administration intervention options might include, but is not necessarily limited to, time in the office, in school suspension, redirection, after school detention, loss of privilege, reparation, and/or parent conference Referral to appropriate school or district social services may be justified. School Based Team - When the behavior and needs of the student warrant, an assessment process and intervention with the use of school and community services may be appropriate. This intervention is managed by the school administrator with a school based team. The team should consist of individuals knowledgeable about the student including one or more teachers, administrators, support personnel, and when appropriate, family, the student and community members. Repetitive truancy or defiance of school rules, and behaviors that interfere with others such as vandalism or harassment belong at this level as well as misbehaving students who would benefit from service provision. Assessment and service intervention options should include any Classroom or School Administration interventions and might include referral to community service or community based program, in-school suspension, out- of-school suspension, expulsion or referral to court.
