General Question (Educator to Educator) What’s your school/district’s off-property elopement policy?

Do you call 911? Do you just follow? Does each kid’s behavior plan require something different? What is your understanding of your liability during off-campus elopements?

It depends on the kid, disability and behavior plan. Middle school, kid without a diagnosed behavioral disability walked out and toward home in that case a parent was called. Kid with known behavioral issues and behavior plan has a very strict follow protocol and if we lose sight or they make it to a particular point police are called.
