Elopement/Running AwayElopement is often referred to as running away, bolting, wandering, AWOL, or being out of bounds.Running away is a serious behavior to address due to the dangers that may occur for students without direct adult supervision. Elopement--the term used in research articles--can be defined as leaving the designated area without permission, and can be based upon a specific boundary (leaving the classroom), or based on a specific measurement (3-6 feet away). The severity of elopement may vary from a milder version (running from classroom) to more extreme (leaving campus or otherwise being out of sight for an extended period). Students may elope during transition times and avoid specific environments; the main concern--beyond safety--is that the student is missing instruction.
