The Palo Alto Unified School District is accelerating plans to address the issue of violence on campus after a student with special needs attacked two teachers.
The Palo Alto Unified School District is accelerating plans to address issues such as violence on campus after a student with special needs, who is under 12 years old, attacked two teachers at Jane Lathrop Middle School on May 5.
The district actually formed a committee in January to address the stressed behavior of students recovering from two years of COVID restrictions. But after the attacks, the committee quickly laid out its goals at a May 23 school board meeting, creating a multi-tiered approach to develop programs geared to students’ emotional and social needs, as well as help teachers who complained to committee.
At the meeting, one community member pointed out the assessment didn’t address that a small number of special needs students make up the majority of school suspensions. “When we’re not addressing that issue as part of our discussion about behavior, we’re not addressing the crux of the issue,” he said.
Boyce pointed out that part of the district approach does focus on special education students, but the goal is to reach out further.
