Dr. DiPonio told the Lake Shore Board of Education that behavior incidents increased prior to COVID-19 and have "steadily increased" since the pandemic. He cited screen time, "gentle parenting," and "a distrust of authority" as factors he believes have contributed to the trend.
He said the district showed the Board a video from another district featuring a parent speaking at a school board meeting about unacceptable classroom behavior. The presentation linked the behavior discussion to the district's broader safety and mental-health work, but did not propose a single new policy at this meeting.
