Behavior (Oregon)

Behavior Setup

The Behavior Settings tools are used to set up behavior events/incidents, resolutions, and responses. For the most part, these settings apply to the entire district, but there are instances where an event, resolution or response may only apply to a particular school.

See the core Event Types and Resolution Types articles for information on creating this information.

Classification of Event Types

When Event Types and Resolution Types have the Classification field to a value that is NOT None, additional fields display on the Event and Resolution Detail editors. For example, an Event Type that has a Classification of Weapon displays the Weapon Type and Weapon Description fields.

Event Types can have a Classification of Harassment, Drugs or Weapons. Event types with a State Event Code related to one of these should be marked accordingly.
