Common use of Reporting of Hib Clause in Contracts

Reporting of Hib. 4.4.3.1. Reporting of HIB by Schools to Law Enforcement As set forth in Article 4.4.2 of this Agreement, HIB does not by itself constitute a criminal offense. Accordingly, there is no obligation on the part of school personnel to report HIB investigations to a law enforcement agency unless the conduct rises to the level of mandatory report, as outlined in Article 3. An HIB event that occurs in school on a Friday can precipitate another event outside of school on a Saturday. Reporting these offenses allows law enforcement to remain vigilant, but does not require that any formal action be taken by law enforcement in response to the non- mandatory report. When making mandatory or non-mandatory reports, school officials agree to indicate any suspicions or evidence that the conduct was gang-related. Victims of HIB also should be informed that they may report an alleged offense to the appropriate law enforcement agency; however, school officials should avoid expressing any opinion to victims as to whether the alleged conduct constitutes an offense under the Code of Criminal Justice. Under no circumstances shall any school employee prevent or discourage the victim of an offense from reporting the offense to a law enforcement agency.
