PDA is a public display of affection. Schools have zero tolerance for any display of affection. Students experience and see this more than the teachers do. PDA is inappropriate at any school because you can be charged with charges, and it is inappropriate for students and teachers to be displaying any type of affection.  

Relationships are a big cause of PDA because it can be very intimate, which should not be happening at a school or anywhere we learn. Kissing, hugging, and holding hands is not acceptable. PDA also has a zero tolerance for bullying and bullying of any kind is unacceptable. PDA is common at schools but it isn’t allowed most students still hold hands. 

Any display of affection is suppose to happen after school or out of school hours. Madison a freshmen states that they have seen some PDA in the hallways of school.
