Corporal Punishment
Deliberate pain or punishment caused in response to undesired behavior
by students in schools. It is a method of discipline.
• Allowed in the southern and western US
• More than 216,000 students were subjected to corporal
punishment during the 2008-2009 school year.
• Research shows that corporal punishment is less effective than
other methods of behavior management in schools.
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org
Deliberate or intentional behavior using words or actions
intended to cause fear, intimidation, or harm.
• Law requires every school district to have a policy that
prohibits bullying by students.
• Consequences of bullying includes leaving the school
grounds, parent/caregiver notification, or law enforcement
involvement.
• Educators, support personnel and administrators enforce
the rules and makes sure there is a visual display of the
rules.

Locker Searches
When a teacher examines the contents of a student’s locker it is called a
locker search.
• Searching the locker of a student is permitted if there are
reasonable grounds to suspect that the search will produce evidence
that the student is violating laws or school rules.
• Searches conducted based on hunches
or rumors are illegal because they are a
violation of student privacy.

Para’s role
Zero Tolerance – Redirect student behaviors and report
negative behaviors to teachers as necessary.
Corporal Punishment – Remind the students of the teachers’
rules. (Most likely the para would not be the one to corporally
punish)
Bullying – Remind the students to use their words and actions
in a respectful way.
Locker Searches – Monitor the students’ lockers while
respecting privacy.
