In exigent circumstances as authorized by law. B. The superintendent and/or his/her designee shall attempt to contact the student’s parents/guardians prior to allowing law enforcement authorities to interrogate, search or arrest a student at school, except when there are reasonable grounds to believe that a health or safety emergency requires the interrogation, search or arrest to take place without prior notice.

informed of his/her rights prior to an interrogation, search or arrest
conducted by law enforcement authorities. D. A
