The no-touch policy applies to all levels, but more so when dealing with minors. The consequences for grabbing a minor are often varied and, most times, quite severe. These policies could slightly differ from one school district to another. Still, most of them prohibit any touching, unless the student seems to be falling backward. They can also touch if they are breaking up a fight, and nothing more.
School disciplinary action also varies from school to school and is based on the seriousness of each case. For example, a teacher can receive a verbal or written warning, but just at the school level. However, serious student touching issues can receive probationary status, and sometimes dismissal.

But some students are much older, ranging from above age 18, 25, 30, and even In this case, ramifications are quite varied, and sometimes the strictness of the law can be quite challenging to apply. A teacher would most likely face disciplinary action and even fired if it is proven that they have been inappropriate with much younger students, below the age of consent. Most times touching for this group is non consensual, and if the student goes ahead to press a complaint, then the law applies immediately.
