    of Group Counseling
  • Teacher Involvement IS a Critical Factor (Newman,
    1999)

72
VIII. Suppression Student Attendance Review Board
The Education Code allows for the use of the
Student Attendance Review Board (SARB) for
truancy/absentee issues AND behavioral problems.
The SARB process generally includes a pre-SARB
intervention at the school site. If the
behavioral problems do not improve the school
site will refer the student and family to the
district-wide SARB hearing. The district SARB,
in partnership with law enforcement, district
attorneys office, probation and juvenile justice
can mandate counseling, mental health, parenting
classes, etc. to illicit behavioral changes.
Should behaviors continue, the parent and student
are referred on to juvenile justice. West
Sacramento School District has implemented a
successful SARB program to reduce bullying in
both primary and secondary schools. SARB Does
our district have SARB protocols in place for
bullying? Suspension/Expulsion Persistent
bullying wil result in either suspension or
expulsion and is based upon the school district
bullying, harassment or behavioral
policies. Education Code 48900 and
48915 Citation/Arrest Schools have used
citation programs to reduce fighting on campus.
These programs generally work very close with law
enforcement, district attorneys office and the
court system. When students fight they are given
a citation by the School Resource Officer (SRO),
or in some cases the school administrator. The
citation is forwarded to traffic court where the
first offense may result in a designated fine.
Further offenses equals higher fines. Should the
family not be able to pay the fine, the student
is given community service hours. This program
has effectively reduced fights on several school
campuses. The program may be modified to deal
with physical acts of severe bullying. Bullying
that includes physical injury to the victim
should be referred to the School Resource Officer
for arrest on assault charges if the attacking
student is above the age of twelve years old.
The school should also follow suspension
protocols under Education Code 48900 or
48915. Penal Code 422. Making Terroristic
Threats Penal Code 415. Disturbing the PeaceAny
of the following persons shall be punished by
imprisonment in the countyjail for a period of
not more than 90 days, a fine of not more than
fourhundred dollars (400), or both such
imprisonment and fine(1) Any person who
unlawfully fights in a public place or
challengesanother person in a public place to
fight.(2) Any person who maliciously and
willfully disturbs another person byloud and
unreasonable noise.(3) Any person who uses
offensive words in a public place which
areinherently likely to provoke an immediate
violent reaction. Temporary Restraining Order
The victims family may ask the district
attorneys off ice to file a temporary
restraining order (TRO) that will keep the
perpetrator away from the victims
73
  • home and a given range of distance in public
    places. This can create problems of enforcement
    on a school campus.
  • Class scheduling should take into consideration
    the issue of a TRO. The school must comply with
    court orders and
  • may seek some modifications on the TRO to ensure
    that both students are provided a Free and
    Appropriate Public
  • Education (FAPE). Please note local or state
    mandates differ from region to region. The
    school must check with their
  • attorneys regarding district or local protocols
    that may impact a TRO.
  • Involuntary Transfer Some school districts have
    involuntarily transferred persistent bullies to
    other schools in the
  • district. Transportation issues including costs
    are typically the responsibility of the parents
    or guardians. Care should
  • be given to inform the site administrators and
    teachers of the school of transfer regarding
    dangerous pupils. While an
  • involuntary transfer may assist with issues a TRO
    presents, it may do very little to reduce
    bullying behaviors by the
  • transferred student.
  • Re-entry To effectively change behavior,
    schools must include a comprehensive and
    enforceable re-entry plan for the
  • student that includes social skill development
    during the term of suspension or expulsion.
    Re-entry should also include
  • direct placement into a student assistance
    program immediately upon reinstatement. The
    re-entry plan must be
  • specific in types and duration of parenting
    classes for the parent/guardian and counseling or
    mental health sessions for
  • the student. The plan must include placement
    into student assistance programming upon return
    and be signed and
  • dated by all parties.
