A cooperative relationship shall be maintained between the school district and law enforcement agencies. In this relationship it is essential that the rights of the school, the parents, the individual and the civil authorities be clearly understood and protected.
Police shall be called and informed of situations involving violations of Board policies on weapons, drugs and alcohol and when deemed appropriate by administrators.
Every effort will be made to cooperate with police. Police desiring to question pupils concerning school-related situations may do so on school premises and during school hours, with an administrator present during such questioning. Reasonable efforts will be made to contact a parent or guardian before police question a student.
Police interested in questioning pupils concerning nonschool-related situations shall be required to conduct such questioning off school premises and not during school hours.
