Corporal Punishment

Corporal punishment is any deliberate striking, paddling, application of an object or body part against the body of a student, or any other physical punishment used as a corrective or retaliatory measure against a student.

In the BCPSS, corporal punishment is forbidden.

There are circumstances and/or conditions under which the BCPSS employees are permitted to appropriately touch students. Maintaining a safe and orderly school environment; administering first aid; and attending to health needs are circumstances and/or conditions where touching students is permitted. Other examples of these circumstances are as follows:

  • Intervening in fights
  • Preventing accidental injury
  • Protecting oneself
  • Providing appropriate care to disabled students
  • Moving through a crowd to address an emergency
  • Employing passive restraint with students with emotional disabilities
