Strikes: Managing Reasons and Escalation Threshold

Required role: Administrator

Managing Strike Reasons

The reasons teachers pick from when issuing a strike are configurable under Convivencia → Configuration → Strike reasons.

Each reason has a Name (translatable) and a Sequence (drag to reorder — the first one in the list is used as the default preselected reason in the roll-call dialog).
Untick Active to retire a reason without deleting it (existing strikes keep referencing it).
The seeded “Other / General” reason (ems.strike_reason_other) is the system default — keep it active, since it’s what the roll-call dialog preselects.

Configuring the Escalation Threshold

Under Settings → EMS Management → “Strikes Settings”, set how many accumulated strikes trigger an escalation email to the coexistence coordinator — the coordinator is notified again every time the count reaches a further multiple of this number (e.g. with the default of 3: at 3, 6, 9 strikes…).

Assigning the Coexistence Role

Coexistence coordinators are assigned like any other role, under Community → Configuration → Teachers → Roles, by adding an employee to the “Coexistence coordinator” role. Unlike most coordination roles, this one is not limited to a single person — assign one per Head of Studies / Deputy Head of Studies branch as needed, since escalation emails are routed to whichever coordinator shares the issuing teacher’s branch. See the Teacher Roles and Permission Levels manual for the general role-assignment workflow.
