Clear set of definitions for all categories on the office discipline referral form exists. Once behaviors are defined, all faculty, staff, administration, students and families will need to be trained on the definitions.

All problem behaviors are covered and none of the definitions overlap. Consistent definitions make data collection much more accurate and reliable. The addition of minor problem behaviors assists in the summary of minor infractions.

10 Repetitive misbehavior may indicate the student does not understand the expectation. Determine if the misbehavior a skill deficit or a performance deficit. Chronic minor misbehaviors may require office referral.

When do minor behaviors cross the line and become major office referrals Minor (faculty/staff) Major (Administration) Defiance Disrespect Disruption Physical Contact

Or school counselor?  When should I expect to hear back from office?  Do we track minor offenses?  Is the form different for minors?  What is the process for referring minors?
