A recent situation occurred in which a student was connected to

sexually explicit language having been written on his online
assignment. I immediately took action to adjust the account setting
on the site to ensure that no other student had been or would be
exposed to the offense. I evaluated the incident for the student’s
safety and considered submitting a SCAR to Child Protective
Services. Finally, I followed school protocol to report the incident.
