The Virginia Department Of Education collected data of all the incident reports from 2013-2017 from different schools in the state. The highest incidents that were reported were defiance and classroom disruption.

Schools seek to lower the numbers of incidents so that the school district is safer and the learning environment is an effective work place.

Prince George has a total of 33,769 incidents that were reported in 2013-2014.

Officers who see these kind of behaviors are resource officers at Prince George High School. They implement disciplinary actions who commit such offense throughout each school day to keep the students safe.

“I think it sometimes starts at home [ being disobedient] and whether they are here to break the rules because in todays society some people make up their own rules,” Security Officer Hamlet said.
