A child banging his head is in no way, shape or form a criminal justice issue. Not at all. So there is no reason to call Le enforcement.
There is no level of action that a 7 year old in a classroom can do that warrants even thinking about calling the police short of assaulting a classmate to the point of real physical harm or being a credible danger of that.
But teachers and administrators are ever more lazy and incompetent to handle classroom issues to the point that they wait until problems are a huge mess and then call the police because they refuse to do the job they are paid for.
Kid banging his head? Call the police! Teen won't put away her cell phone? Call the police! Kid made a clock? Call the police!
It's a downright negligent way to run a classroom and school.
