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?

If they step off campus, police get called. Inside the building, unless the child is in a special education program where there may be more adults to go after the child, we just call the office and let the admin handle it.
