Common use of Arrests Clause in Contracts

Arrests. Whenever practical, arrests of a student or staff member should be accomplished outside of school hours in order to not disrupt the educational process or school setting. Arrests that must occur during school hours or on school grounds shall be compliant with all applicable laws and shall be coordinated through the school administrator to minimize potential disruption. When circumstances do not allow for prior coordination through the school administrator, arrests will be reported to the school administrator as soon as possible. SROs are expected to be familiar with school rules and their application within the school system. Routine rule that can be handled administratively through the disciplinary process will not be handled as violations of law, but rather be referred to the principal for administrative action. Any questions related to the enforcement of rules versus laws within schools shall be discussed with the principal and SRO Supervisor. This specifically applies to general standards of conduct.
