Description
If you’re an assistant principal, you know the feeling:
• A fight happens and you’re suddenly running an investigation
• Parents challenge your discipline decision
• Staff want answers quickly
• Documentation has to be airtight
• And you still have 50 other things happening in the building
Most APs are never given a clear system for handling discipline and investigations.
Instead, they piece it together over years of trial and error.
The Student Discipline & Investigation Playbook is a fully organized Notion workspace that gives you:
✔ Investigation procedures
✔ Documentation templates
✔ Parent communication scripts
✔ Restorative practice tools
✔ Incident tracking database
✔ Professional development resources
Everything organized in one central hub.
