Another student (#3) said that the disruptive student made a comment in reference to student # 2 that involved a threat involving the word “kill”.  Student #1 denied using the word “kill”.

The parent was called for a conference and met with the intern, principal, and school counselor.

The parent agreed to talk with the student about his behavior and, agreed that the student could begin visiting the school counselor on a weekly basis. The counselor described an activity designed to teach the child about positive choices.  The student will also be assigned to assisting others students that he has trouble getting along with.

Teacher # 1 Summary:

While lining up in the hallway to go to lunch today I requested 3 times that everyone stand in a quiet line.  I then told the student 3 times to get in line and get quiet and he continued to talk and ignore me.  I then requested 3 times for him to move to the back of the line.  The student then started moving toward the back of the line and started muttering disrespectfully toward me.  I told the student that I would not tolerate disrespect and he would need to talk to the principal before going to lunch.  I repeatedly requested that the student go to the office (at least 4 times), and the student continued to be belligerent, refuse my requests, and insisted on going to lunch.  Teacher # 2 called the office for assistance and I walked down to the lunchroom with the student and met the principal in the hallway outside the lunchroom.  (The actions above were witnessed by teacher # 3 and teacher # 2)

I explained the situation to the principal and he gave the student several (at least 3) opportunities to apologize for his behavior and the student would do nothing.  The principal repeatedly instructed the student to walk to the office and he continued to insist on eating lunch first.  the student then turned and stomped up the hallway with the principal and the turned to him and said “f--- you a-------.”  This statement was also witnessed by teacher assistant # 4.

Background summary notes (Intern):

Last year the student was assigned full-time paraprofessional, but does not have one this year.  The student receives special services for all academic instruction and is on medication for behavioral disorders.  At the beginning of the year, the student was in the regular classroom only for special classes, recess, and lunch.  Behavior problems developed early in the year:

8/26/03 Threatened to hit a student walking down the hallway.

9/9/03 Threatened a high school student on the bus.  When he was getting off the bus, he was hitting his sister with his fist, then threw rocks at her. He made verbal threats to kill everyone on the bus.

9/22/03  Behavioral problems continued.  The special services teacher could not get the student to cooperate or do any work.  
Intern/Principal actions: An evaluation determined that the student was not stable enough to allow him to remain in a school setting. A conference with parents, the special education teacher, special services director, and psychological case workers determined that for now that the student should be tutored at home.  His services would be limited to his ability to focus on learning activities, about two hours a day of instruction provided by the special services director.

10/24/03 The student was allowed to return to school for limited services. He would attend classes only for 3 hours a day from 9:00-12:00 and remain in the special education classroom.  He would attend lunch with the regular classroom.

12/19/03 The incident described above occurred. 
Intern/Principal action: The student was taken to the office and sent home.  It was decided that the student would go to the lunchroom alone at 11:45 each day and eat alone before going home at 12:00.
