Abstract	This issue paper on violence in public schools provides an overview of the problem and a joint statement by the Council of Administrators of Special Education (CASE) and the Council for Children with Behavior Disorders (CCBD). These two organizations believe that the majority of the violent, aggressive, or destructive students in U.S. schools are not students receiving special education, but students whose behavior may be incidental to a particular emotional crisis. Most students who have cognitive, emotional, social, or behavioral disabilities are effectively managed and taught through special education interventions, and rarely exhibit the violent behavior that places them and those around them in danger of harm. Both CCBD and CASE endorse the need for a school district to immediately remove any student who has a disability if he or she becomes violent, aggressive, or destructive within a particular school. Such students must continue to receive their education in an alternative educational setting until an assessment has been completed and appropriate decisions are made around their long-term education program. This assessment would involve consideration of whether the student's return to the previous educational placement with appropriate supports will provide safety for self and others, and whether there are new characteristics identified about the student which indicate that the least restrictive environment for the student is no longer the regular school setting. Additionally, all students should have the opportunity to receive alternative educational services. (SW)
