A recent article on an Austin-area news website reported
that two elementary schools had issues in their school cafeterias when glass
panels commonly referred to as “sneeze guards” shattered. In one instance a
student was allegedly injured by glass shards from the breaking glass.
The school district, in a news release, stated that
no students were harmed by the accident, but the student’s father said his son
came home with lacerations. He also claimed that his son pulled a piece of
glass out of his mouth while eating his lunch, and showed a cafeteria worker,
but it was not stated whether the incident was reported. To read more about the

In this situation, if the district
had PublicSchoolWORKS’ Student Accident Reporting System, the cafeteria worker could
have filed a comprehensive, online accident
report recording exactly what happened, including which students were involved
and the extent of their injuries (regardless of how minor they were), the time
of the incident, as well as if there were any witnesses. The system would then
immediately notify the designated site-level and/or district-level administrators
prompting them with steps to take to ensure that the incident is handled
properly mandates.
The Student Accident Reporting
System ensures that all student accidents are handled correctly and promptly,
allowing for quicker and more effective solutions to be enacted. Without the
Student Accident Reporting System, there may be discrepancies about the nature
of the incident or the students’ injuries, resulting in ineffective
investigations or potential legal concerns.
