Incident Report
User Story:
As an a teacher or administrator who is responsible for providing incident information to the parent’s guardian and our state student’s guardian, I need a way to select de-escalation strategies so that I can provide documentation that shows the full picture of how we responded to the incident.
UI:
User sees the de-escalation strategies drop down field.
To pick or custom enter de-escalation strategy (ies), the user clicks on the drop down arrow and clicks inside the box next to their selection(s).

To de-select a de-escalation strategy, the user clicks on the box next to their choice a second time.
Acceptance Criteria:
Given a user clicks on the drop down arrow in the De-escalation field, the list of choices and a box to custom enter a de-escalation strategy will show.
We will provide a list of de-escalation strategies. (Content team and coming soon).
Given the user selects multiple boxes next to desired de-escalation strategies, we will include them all as part of the incident report. (See:
There is no limit to the number of de-escalation strategies a user can select.
