Garcia was one of the central characters in a skit showing how a fight between two female students who bumped into each other in the hallway ended under the old and new policies.
Under the old policy, the combatants were sent home for three days and threatened with trespassing if they showed up at school.
Under the new policy, the two students talked out their dispute with Garcia’s help and apologized to each other.
Cairns said the new approach has cut suspensions in half, and the school has yet to record an expulsion this year.
