All teachers are responsible [to report/for reporting] signs of violent in their students to the principal[ s ].

What is correct? If unnatural, please rephrase.

Thanks!

According to me: All teachers are liable for reporting the signs of violence in their students to the principal.

Actually I prefer the noun violence over the adjective violent but some articles on Google use violent. So, I don't know which is correct anymore. Maybe both are.

It cant be violent .Signs of violent sounds odd

Violent is adjective and violence is noun.
