Action to Take:
Step 1: Inform the School District.
Write a letter to your child's school Superintendent that says: If my child is a witness to, or if his/her involvement is suspected in any incident in your schools that would warrant suspension or other disciplinary action for my child or any other child, I am to be immediately notified. The ___________ School District, its employees or agents acting on their behalf, including on-site police officers, do not have my permission to search, question or suspend my child without my knowledge, presence or participation. Letter to School Superintendent
If they write or call back that your request would cause "undue hardship" or "we don't want parents interfering in the investigation" use it as part of your complaint to send to the Office for Civil Rights.
Step 2: Educate Your Child.
