Policy text as sent by email from mlippe@adairschools.org on Mon, 12 Oct 2026 15:02:23 -0500: Anthony, Thanks for following up! To answer your questions: corporal punishment is typically reserved for minor types of infractions or repeated classroom misconduct. Crucially, it is only administered with the full cooperation and consent of the parent or guardian—in fact, it is often requested by parents as an alternative to detention or in-school suspension (ISS). As for frequency, our district does not use it widely. It is rarely used at the high school level, and only occasionally comes up at the middle and elementary school levels. Hope this helps complete what you need! Please let me know if you have any further questions.
