Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
| Hayfield Elementary, not the high school. |
| What are the odds the people are going to get the details on this? Or is it just going to be swept under the rug and never talked about again? |
Guess part of it depends on whether adminsitrators return to the school. |
| Bump. |
| Principal, assistant principal and more than one teacher placed on leave seems like a big deal. |
I wonder. I've heard good things about the principal. |
| What does, “their response to an alleged disciplinary incident between two students” mean? Does it mean the students were disciplined, but not per policy? |
My guess is the two students received different punishments for the same crime and there's some perceived bias involved. |
Or, they laid hands on them in breaking up a fight. |

Yes, let’s all keep guessing & gossiping!!! Let’s start rumors! Why not just lob anything? It’s anonymous and we don’t have to have facts, right? Hell, you don’t even have to post about the correct school.
I think the principal was running a child sex ring in the basement of the school and served pizza while they played ping pong. Oh wait…that one’s already been used. 😒 |
| The only thing I can think of that would get this degree of response would be a violation of the seclusion and restraint policies, and that’s only because FCPS has been in big trouble for that in the past so it’s on the radar of a lot of administrators. If it was something like a teacher or another employee put hands on a kid, it would just be that individual who was canned and we’d hear about the arrest like the other times that has happened recently. |

Dumb question: does the restraint and exclusion policy apply to all students? Does it mean you cannot sit a child apart from the rest of the class?
Gee, I can remember when I was in school a teacher might tell a kid to go stand in the hall for a few minutes. Or, the corner....would that be exclusion? |
It’s restraint and seclusion, not exclusion |
No. Seclusion is essentially locking a child in a room that they can’t leave. Calm down areas, hallway breaks, , etc are not seclusion. Putting hands on a child to prevent physical harm to another child would not violate restraint and seclusion rules. Neither does a hand on the back or arm to escort a child to another location, etc. We have yearly trainings that detail what is and is not restraint and seclusion. |
