SCHOOL-GENERAL GOVERNMENT RELATIONS LOCAL GOVERNMENT/POLICE DEPARTMENT
Alleged criminal acts committed on school property must immediately be reported by the principal, the assigned assistant principal, or the person designated as being in charge in the absence of the principal, to the appropriate police department.

The actions and behavior of students outside of school hours, away from school premises, and not in control of the district, is primarily the responsibility of the parent rather than the district.

It is believed that police authorities and schools have certain interests in common which may best be served by cooperation, and it shall be the policy of the Board to maintain a working relationship with the police departments serving the district.
