Administrators

I found district administrators and the board of education posted on YouTube. Have you experienced something similar?

Chris Rugh — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 05:40:35 -0400

The videos are not threatening. In addition to "tightening up" our cell phone/electronic devices policy and its enforcement, I'm looking for some policy guidelines or something similar to reduce the likelihood this happens again.

Behavior Contract

Can principals MANDATE implementation of behavior contracts for issues of persistent disobedience? What if parents "won't" sign? Any perspective would be appreciated.

Students

I would like to know how many middle schools (6-8) still offer recess?

Middle School Tardies

snewkirk — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:55:10 -0400

I am interested in finding out how junior high and middle school handle tardies to school in particular first hour. We have run into a few problems with first hour tardies since the parents are the ones brining the child to school late. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we attempt to get a handle on a problem before it gets out of control.

How are districts handling numerous tardies without using out-of- school suspensions

The number of tardies has skyrocketed this year. I can't figure out why.
