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.
