[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the people that feel that it was escalation to call the mom, and then call the police, when kid was "just staying on the playground and safe"
The only way to insure the safety would be for one staff person to remain outside with that student.
[b]Unless that kid has a 1-1 aide, that is not something that can happen.[/b] Staff have other assignments.
If, as others have suggested, this is building toward an argument that the kid needs a 1-1 aide, then this is the process that has to happen.[/quote]

I work in special ed, and yes, it can. If the kid won't come in, somebody has to stay outside with him. We've had this happen before. People take shifts--the principal, the program coordinator, related service providers, whoever. Is other stuff not getting done? Yup, but that's too bad. Until you manage to get critical staffing in place or a placement change (the argument for either of which would be supported by a record of such incidents), that's what you have to do. You don't call the parents. And you certainly don't call the police unless there's some kind of weapon involved. Not leaving the playground? Come on.

Yep. I've had more than one meeting with the school social worker cancelled because she was attending to a child in crisis. I wish the school had more staff, but I would certainly never want them to call the police just so they can keep my meeting on time![/quote]
