Corporal punishment is not used as a means of student discipline. However, there are times when physical restraint may be necessary to maintain order in the school or classroom, at a school activity or event, or to prevent a student from harming him/herself, other students, and/or school/staff property. Oregon law and the policy of the Archdiocese permit a teacher, administrator, school employee, or school volunteer to use reasonable physical force upon a student when and to the extent the individual reasonably believes it necessary for such purposes.
