How to Respond & Points of Caution
When a school violence incident is reported, a detailed case investigation is conducted to establish whether harm and misconduct occurred. Cases that do not meet the requirements for resolution by the principal proceed to an in-person hearing before the School Violence Committee.
The statements given in person by the alleged aggressor and their guardians at that hearing have a significant impact on the measures ultimately decided.
To avoid an unjust outcome, it is essential to respond carefully with the assistance of counsel, presenting your account of the facts accurately and with supporting evidence.
