Child Abuse Reporting Requirements
In accordance with state law and school policy, school staff are obligated under
penalty of fine and jail term to report the reasonable suspicion of physical
abuse, sexual abuse, or child neglect to the proper authorities. In this very
serious and legally narrow area, the school will not contact parents in advance
of making a report to authorities, which would be the procedure followed in most
other legal matters. The clear intent of the law, based on the seriousness of
the crimes listed above, is to mandate that a report of reasonable suspicion of
abuse be made. School staff will make such reports in the best interest of the
affected child and do not, once reasonable suspicion is established, have any
legal alternative except to make the report to the proper authorities for their
investigation and review.
