Level III offenses are acts whose frequency or seriousness disrupt the

properties. These misbehaviors could endanger the health or safety of
those in the school.

These criminal acts always require administrative actions and may
require the removal of the student from school, the intervention of law
enforcement authorities and possible action by the PR School Board.
