A Research Based District Wide Discpline Policy, From Goal To Approval, Timothy Craig Morello
All Graduate Projects
In the late 1990's the Wenatchee School District realized that the community and staff were dissatisfied with the state of discipline in the district.

A lack of discipline appeared to be at the root of the problem in the home and subordinately the root of the problem in the schools (McEvoy & Welker, 2000). In addition, disciplinary practices in many schools are inconsistent and ineitable (Skiba & Peterson, 2000). The District …
