I think you have to consider the greater good. It's obviously not ideal to have to remove a student who clearly needs some help and extra care.. but if it's negatively impacting the rest of the entire class, then I think you have to prioritize the rest of the class. It's a difficult thing but it's not fair to the rest of the students

sounds like a trauma response, which elopement is often associated with.....' fight/flight/freeze'.
Is he already in moderate to severe education class? If not he should be evaluated with a COST referral.
They are isolated all day, but break out of their little classroom and then the whole school is shut down, cannot come and go.
Runners aren't unusual. I have chased after a few 🫤 myself. I don't know the complete situation but it could have become a game to the student or this could be a coping mechanism for the student especially if the student is autistic. If this is your student ask for the school psychologist and resource specialist to observe the student in class and on the playground for their input. This student might need a 1 to 1 aide at all times.
Honestly we use ABC charts for every behavior student, this one has an AU diag, and is violent for no reason.
IMHO, it’s not the running that has me concerned so much, it’s the violent behavior. My colleague has been a Life Skills teacher for 32 years. She could handle any student hands down. She had a student come to the district last year who sounds the same as the student you are describing. She’s had kids in the past that have been violent, but the child she had last year started to hit other kids in her class and they were afraid. That’s where she drew the line. He’s now has specialized placement in another school. While parents think that their violent child feel it’s great for them to socialize with other kids, this couldn’t be further from the truth. They usually don’t have friends. Don’t let the parents or admin talk you into having him stay. It’s not far to the other kids.
Yep, I agree with you. Your district is better off giving the tax dollars allocated to this student to have him in special placement. It benefits all of the students, teachers, and gets that child needed, more appropriate placement. It’s, hard. The district will not want to let go of those tax dollars for that student.
Who brainwashed you to calling him a scholar? Why are you saying this nicely when it's obvious he's a terror. Yes, those students can thrive when given the right supportive environment so perhaps they do need to be elsewhere. Unfortunately the system is moving towards DEI and overlooking the BS because it's not politically correct.
We just call all our students scholars... you know the power of positive thinking and what not. It is a classical school habit.
