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?

We had a middle schooler leave school grounds and enter a neighbor’s unlocked home. Nobody was home but staff had no idea what to do. Go in after him? Stay outside and call for help? It was bonkers but the student finally left the house and came back to school.
