- Summary:
-
The paper examines legal issues involved in the assaultive behavior of emotionally disturbed students. A special education due process decision is cited to illustrate the definition of assault and the need for seeking alternatives to expulsion. Related legal issues (discipline and punishment, liability for injuries resulting from assaultive behavior of students, and assault and corporal punishment) are reviewed. The case study cited involves a disturbed student who allegedly assaulted the assistant principal. Testimony of witnesses is summarized and the decision in favor of the student is presented. Reactions by teachers, professors, and administrators conclude the document. (CL)
