Abstract	This qualitative investigation examined the nature of administrators' beliefs about students referred to them for classroom disruption. A second purpose was to see whether beliefs about teachers who make a high number of office referrals were linked to administrator practices. Data were obtained from semi-structured telephone interviews with six administrators (2 = middle school, 2 = junior high school, 2 = high school level). Administrator perceptions of referred students fell into three categories that included (a) skill factors, (b) parent/family factors, and (c) mood/emotional factors. Despite the tendency to implement consequences according to school policy, a link between beliefs and practices was found. Themes across administrator beliefs and practices are described and directions for future research follow. (Contains 4 tables.) (As Provided).
