for failure to meet its standards.
Teachers and Physical Contact
The HCBE committee identified this as a -
"sensitive and complex issue. The commit-
tee developed a five point guideline in the
matter of physical contact. It was further
noted that the committee strongly recom-
mended the use of common sense in this
area and in the applications of the
guidelines. They include: "Physical in-
teraction between adults and children re-
quires common sense and thoughtful intent;
It is important not to lose sight of the
positive value, need, and meaning of
physical contact; Controlling the excite-
ment and/or distress of a child may require
physical contact such as a hand on the
shoulder or a pat on the back. These may
also provide needed reassurance.;
Sometimes physical restraint is required in
a crisis situation to provide safety, protec-
tion from ihtimidatien, protection of proper-
ty or to protect class/school proceedings;
Defining the use of appropriate physical
force is a difficult, if not impossible task."
• Regarding the physical contact issue, the
committee recommended "that no attempt
should be made to delineate in a written
policy statement what is acceptable and
non -acceptable physical contact with

students. School staffs must reach common
understandings, through discussions
organized by the principal, to understand
the differences between acceptable and non -
acceptable physical contact with students."
A further recommendation noted, "That
every effort be made to encourage teachers
to accept the fact that physical intervention
may sometimes be necessary. It is further
recommended that senior administrd''tors,
staff and principals assure teachers that
they will have support in situations where
the teacher becomes involved in a
justifiable physical intervention.
Disciplinary Interventions
The committee reported that it spent con-
siderable time discussing a number of
strategies regarding effective student
management and appropriate disciplinary
actions by teachers and school ad-
ministrators. The committee stressed that
"the use of corporal punishment be re-
confirmed as an inappropriate disciplinary
action. It is understood that corporal punish-
ment is not currently practised in any Huron
County Board of Education school."
The committee suggested that alternative
disciplinary actions be implemented, in-
cluding suspensions, home instruction alter-
natives, team interventions in extreme
cases, involvement of neer counsellors and
involvement of outside agencies.
It was filrther suggested, "that one secon-

Outside Agencies
Support and contact with outside agencies
was seen as an important link in the pro-
cedure and understanding of teacher -
student relationships. The committee said'
that the interdisciplinary approach involves
professionals from a variety of areas, in-
ctucting social service, health and judicial
agencies. It was suggested that joint efforts
between these groups will help in the work
to find solutions to behavioral and
disciplinary concerns in the school system.
"It is recommended that principals take
4teps to raise the'. awareness level of
teaching staff of the existing producers and
requirements regarding contact with com-
munity agencies."
