Huron Board assures staff of support The Huron County Board of Education has moved to assure its teaching staff throughout the county that it will have the full support of senior administrators, staff and principals in any dispute involving physical contact with a student, provided that the contact was deemed necessary in the circumstances. The most common example, said Director of Education Bob Allen, is when a teacher steps in to break up a fight between students, using physical restraint as a form of discipline. The board does not intend to provide a written policy stating what is seen as acceptable or non-acceptable physical contact between teachers and students at various levels, trusting that the staffs involved will deal with each instance ‘‘with a whole lot of common sense.” The education committee which dealt with the matter recommend­ ed that each school deal with the matter through informal discus­ sion among staff members before an incident occurs, pointing out that what may work for one school or situation may not worx iui another.
