Coordination of HIB and Criminal Investigations Sample Clauses

Coordination of HIB and Criminal Investigations. When a criminal investigation is initiated by law enforcement, but a school district has already initiated its own disciplinary investigation for the same incident or conduct, a school district generally agrees to suspend its own investigation until law enforcement has concluded its investigation. This best practice avoids hampering ongoing criminal investigations. Although the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act (ABR) provides a ten school day timeframe to complete an HIB investigation, this investigation should be suspended or “stayed” when deemed appropriate and requested by law enforcement. The suspension or stay of a school district’s HIB investigation may be appropriate when, among other things, there is a concern that witness statements and/or evidence could be adversely affected or detrimental to an ongoing criminal investigation. Although, a law enforcement investigation focuses on whether there has been a violation(s) of the Code of Criminal Justice, an HIB investigation focuses on whether an act has been committed in violation of the ABR. In an effort to avoid hampering the independent efforts, and objectives, of both law enforcement and school officials, when law enforcement deems it appropriate for a school district to suspend or stay its HIB investigation because its own investigation could be compromised by a simultaneous or concurrent HIB investigation, it may request that the school district suspend or stay its HIB investigation. It is only when law enforcement affirmatively requests a school district to suspend or stay its HIB investigation that such an investigation should be suspended or stayed. If law enforcement does not affirmatively request a suspension or stay of an HIB investigation, a school district must comply with all applicable ABR timeframes. If law enforcement has not affirmatively requested a stay or suspension of an HIB investigation, but a school district believes that the action(s) involved may constitute a criminal offense(s), it should contact law enforcement to inquire as to whether law enforcement may want to investigate the matter and, thereby, stay or suspend the school district’s HIB investigation. When law enforcement requests a suspension or stay of an HIB investigation, school officials must immediately memorialize this request, in writing, and advise the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the alleged perpetrator(s) and alleged victim(s) of law enforcement’s request. Notice to the parents must include the fact that the tim...
