richard: when an EC child bites, kicks, scratches, gouges with fingernails, what rights does our child have vs the rights of the offending child? what role in the school hierarchy would be responsible for observing violent behavior and recommending a course of action for that child and for that classroom?
Campus, & district administrative staff have a responsibility for observing, or causing observation & a plan of action to occur. Typically courts say that students have no guarantee of safety at school, but this may be different in your state.
