As an example, some schools think that a one game suspension is more than enough for a momentary outburst. They may wish to add on if it was the F-bomb followed by "you", or perhaps preceded by "you mother..".

Wouldn't that be in the written report? Maybe I missed something back in the early part of this conversation; there is a written report right? Now I am going to assume that the reason there is even a policy to contact the schools is there is not an online or email component to such information like there is in my state where the Special Report is sent to schools and appropriate school administration when we file the report.

Again without knowing the overall process of this policy I cannot answer to that or if the AD knew anything. But I would have likely stuck to the written report and not editorialized what is usual or common. If that is not supposed to go in the report, not sure I would have did that with the AD either. I doubt I am alone in that standard because all Mark could have done is made the situation worse by telling everyone what was typical for him personally.
