Regarding the second link, why would the school administration want to prevent this from being reported to the police?

  There is an ascendence of belief that all matters of interpersonal conflict must be dealt with through non-police solutions. (This school used to have an on-site officer who was removed years ago.) It’s also probably bad for a school in terms of education regulations to have students, teachers, and admins regularly reporting assaults on campus. There’s likely a healthy dose of magical thinking involved as well about how to intervene when students are behaving anti socially. I don’t have a simple answer. I’m mostly surprised that the teacher’s union tacitly supports this sort of outcome.
