Jerome Joint School District No. 261

STUDENTS 3550P

Removal of Student During School Day

Schools must exercise a high order of responsibility for the care of students while in school. The removal of a

student during the school day may be authorized in accordance with the following procedures:

1. Law enforcement officers, upon proper identification, may remove a student from school as provided in

Policy 4410P.

2. Any other agencies must have a written administrative or court order directing the District to give custody

to them. Proper identification is required before the student shall be released.

3. A student shall be released to the custodial parent. When in doubt as to custodial rights, school

enrollment records must be relied upon, as the parents (or guardians) have the burden of furnishing

schools with accurate, up‐to‐date information.

4. The school should always check with the custodial parent before releasing the student to a non‐custodial

parent.

5. Prior written authorization from the custodial parent or guardian is required before releasing a student

into someone else’s custody, unless an emergency situation justifies a waiver.

6. Police should be called if a visitor becomes disruptive or abusive.
