RELATIONS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE

 

A.           Law enforcement officials may enter school premises:

 

1.    In the event of an emergency endangering student or staff safety;

 

2.    At the request of school administrators;

 

3.    When there is a warrant to arrest a student which cannot be executed outside of school hours.  School administrators are not obligated to make students or school facilities available to law enforcement for non-school-related investigations/arrest;

 

B.           School Administrators shall attempt to contact the student’s parents/guardians prior to allowing law enforcement authorities to interrogate, search or arrest a student at school, except when there are reasonable grounds to believe that a health or safety emergency requires the interrogation, search, or arrest to take place without prior notice.

 

C.           A student may be removed from school by law enforcement authorities when there is a court order, an arrest warrant, when a warrantless arrest is authorized by law, or when requested by school administration.  School administrators shall attempt to notify the student’s parents/guardians as soon as possible of the student’s removal from school.

 

D.          School administrators shall release student information to law enforcement authorities only as allowed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
