[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Police was called because school officials can not pick up and carry a child. I’m a teacher. We had a runner leave the school. We had two workers run after the child until police came. Police had to bring the child back. [b]If we are not professionally trained and have the green light to restrain a child, then we can not do it. Police or parents can[/b][/quote]

Seems to me that the school should a) have a behavior intervention plan in place for kids who run or won't move and b) have someone professionally trained to restrain a child if such restraint is part of the BIP. If the school cannot train or obtain trained personnel to implement a kid's BIP, then the district should place the kid in a school who can implement the BIP.

I've heard of situations where the parent does exactly what was described in the OP because the parent wants the school to provide the supports the child needs to stay in/go into the classroom. The school is refusing to provide those supports, and instead calls the parent frequently, asking the parent to become a defacto class aide for their child. The parent is -- rightly -- resisting this. [/quote]

And then the school called the police to retaliate against the parent, is likely what happened. [/quote]
