Juulie, you can read my generic response in the tattling thread...in this specific instance, I would call the supervisor and say "Dave, we had a problem tonight, and I'm sure you're gonna hear from the schools." Then I would explain it exactly the way it happened - just the facts, no opinions or comments added...after the facts are in, the supervisor will ask questions and I will answer them absolutely honestly - including ones about "Why didn't you stop him, DJ?" And there will be questions...as I said in the other post, it's not to get anyone in trouble, but the supervisor needs to know BEFORE the schools start calling and yelling about it.
I think a better approach in this case might be to tell the guy who made the mistake that he needs to call the assignor ASAP and explain. He was the R, he should explain his decision to the boss.

I would only call if he refused, and I would follow up with him the next day to make sure he did call & find out what the assignor said.

But I don't think I would initiate a call without that discussion.
