Scoring Standards for Measures against Aggressor Students in School Violence Cases — 5 Assessment Factors and the Ranges for Measures No. 1 to No. 9

Procedure

1. 1. Check the structure of the score table

   For seriousness, persistence and intent, the higher the degree, the higher the score. For remorse and reconciliation, the lower the degree, the higher the score. Each factor runs from 0 points to 4 points. A total of 1 to 3 points falls under Measure No. 1, 4 to 6 points under No. 3, 7 to 9 points under No. 4, 10 to 12 points under No. 6, 13 to 15 points under No. 7, and 16 to 20 points under No. 8 or No. 9. Measure No. 2, a ban on contact, and Measure No. 5, a special education program, are imposed separately from the score when the committee resolves that they are necessary.

2. 2. Check the aggravating and mitigating factors

   In consideration of the likelihood that the measure will reform the aggressor student and of the protection of the victim student, the measure may be aggravated or mitigated with the approval of a majority of the members present. If the victim student is a student with a disability, the measure may be aggravated.

3. 3. Organize remorse and reconciliation materials

   Before the deliberation, collect materials that show remorse and efforts at reconciliation, such as a letter of apology, records of attempts at reconciliation and records of completed counseling or education. Contacting the victim student's side directly can lead to claims of secondary harm, so first check how this can be done through the school.

4. 4. Review the measure decision and challenge it

   On receiving the written notice of the measure decision, compare the assessment of each factor against the minutes to see whether it matches the facts. The challenge centers on whether the facts were wrongly found and whether the committee went beyond its discretion, rather than on the score table itself, and an administrative appeal is filed within 90 days from the date you became aware of the disposition.

Required documents

• Notice to attend the Deliberation Committee, written notice of the measure decision

Fees

Fees for drafting a written opinion for a school violence deliberation and documents for challenging a measure generally run in the industry from several hundred thousand won to the 1,000,000 won range, and vary with the volume of materials and whether an administrative appeal is pursued. We will advise after a consultation, based on the case.
