Abstract
School disruptions, closure of school buildings and online learning, in response to the coronavirus disease in 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic impacted students in unique ways (Azmat & Ahmad, 2022; Hosszu et al., 2022; Hussong et al., 2021; Patrick et al., 2020; Spitzer, 2020) and possibly had long-term effects on the social, emotional, and behavioral skills students normally establish and practice within the school setting (Steedly et al., 2008; Taylor & Larson, 1999; Zins et al., 2007). The lack of research related to the effects of school closures during the Covid-19 pandemic on social, emotional, and behavioral skills was addressed in this research study through analyzing student discipline referral data from pre-Covid school closures and after schools reopened (Welsh, 2022). During the Covid-19 pandemic, school disruptions likely had an impact on students and the development of their social, emotional, and behavioral skills (Hosszu et al., 2022; Spitzer, 2020). This research study identified the effects of school disruptions on the social, emotional, and behavioral skills of students and hypothesized that school disruptions resulted in decreased social, emotional, and behavioral skills in students.
