We shouldn’t run with scissors By April Sykes The Morrow County School Board, at their reg- ular meeting Monday night at Riverside Jr./Sr. High School, Boardman, agreed to pull from the consent agenda an administrative rule concerning relations with law enforcement agen- cies. The action came at the request of board member Mary Killion who said that she was concerned as a board member and a parent, that police could be talking to students in the school without a parent being present. The board agreed to discuss the issue at the next board meeting. The proposed change reads as follows: Relations with Law Enforcement Agencies Request to Interview a Student or to Conduct an Investigation by Law Enforcement (Other Investigations) 1. Interviews or inves- tigations by law enforce- ment officials not based on allegations of abuse of a child, a warrant for an arrest or search or probable cause that an illegal act or crime is occurring or has been committed on district property, may be permit- ted upon request and with administrator or designee approval. 2. The law enforcement official shall contact the administrator or designee, provide adequate identifi- cation, inform the admin- istrator of the nature of the investigation and provide the name of the student to be interviewed. 3. The administrator or designee shall verify and record the identity of the law enforcement official or other authority. 4. Requests to interview a student during school hours should be, in the opinion of the administrator or designee, important and urgent to justify interrupt- ing school activities. 5. The administrator or designee will attempt to no- tify the student’s parent(s) prior to granting the inter- view. If the parent(s) does not give consent to have his/her son/daughter inter- viewed, then the interview should not take place. 6. If the parent(s) can- not be contacted, the ad- ministrator or designee may grant permission for the questioning to proceed if the student agrees to be interviewed or in the event of compelling emergency circumstances.
