Question:

What happens if my child is arrested at school?

Answer:

If your child is taken into custody by law enforcement at school, the school officials must request the arresting officer to remove the student from the premises as soon as possible. The school cannot permit questioning of a student under arrest on school premises. The procedures for handling this situation should be done in a way that avoids embarrassment to your child and ensures the safety of other students. It is important for the school to inform you as a parent immediately and to report the incident to the local superintendent of schools promptly.
