He said, thanks to them,
there will be no pay-to-play

He also commented
on the adoption of district
policy concerning police
interviewing students. “We
want to make sure parents
are contacted if their stu-
dents are going to be talk-
ed to by police,” he said.
“This is our goal and we’re
doing our best to follow
it.” Policy states, “The
administrator or designee
will attempt to notify the
student’s parent(s) prior to
granting the interview. If
the parent(s) does not give
consent to have his/her son/
daughter interviewed then
the interview should not
take place.
“If the parent(s) cannot
be contracted, the adminis-
trator or designee may grant
permission for the question-
ing to proceed if the student
agrees to be interviewed or
in the event of compelling
emergency circumstances.
“If the administrator or
designee has been unable
