1. Alleged Incident Occurs
   • Observed by Administration
   • Reported by Staff or Students
   • Reported by Non-Staff or Families/Guardians
2. Initial Investigation Planning & Process
   • Led by School Administration
3. Interviews
   • Involved Parties
   • Staff
   • Witnesses
4. Infraction Level Determination & Response Plan
   • Intervention(s)
   • Consequence(s)
5. Communicate Investigation Outcomes (Involved Parties, Families/Guardians, Appropriate Staff)
   • Per FERPA guidance, records and information relating to student discipline are confidential & will only be disclosed to the student and their parents/guardians.
