antl Ne stude Ys parent(st.
have been advised by the City Aftomey for Longwood, Florida Nat the Chief of Police
of the Longwood Pbllce Department obj-N to the language.
I have discussed the matter with Laura Bosco, Esq, of the State Af.mey Office. She
is the Assistant Attorney who handles juvenile matters. She advises that neither a
pnncipal nor a parent may insist upon prior parental netificatipn of any interview of a
or by a lawenforcem tofficer. The term law enforcement.—, includes, police
officer of the municipality en ch the school is cafed, sh,dff, deputy, agent of the
Flontla Department bf Law Enforcement, Flbnda Highway Patrol trooper, FE I_ agent,
etc., but not an employee of the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative
Services or an employee of the Florida Department of Juverfill, Justice.
The only law Nat relates to the issue is the requir ent that a law enforcement oif ,
advise a juvenile that he/she hbs the fight to have their parent present during any
intertogation. The nght is Ne child's right and may not be invoked by the parent or an
other adult, such 11 1 principaltc.
Mrs. Bosco advises that it is not infrequent that a stutlent's parents are the abject of the
vesiigaticn generating an officers need to interview a student. For the school or a
parent to insist on parental notification prior to any interview —d defeat the officers
Investigation.
w of that lnfoematlon from the St- Attcrney'I Office, It is my recommentlation that
Me language of the S.R.O. contract, Attachment'A" be amentletl as follows:
The of— will make co — reports far each student counseled. Th
w filed with the —Il's guidance department N dilldun'ng school M10 and on the scheol campus aboulddien
azpectedncn'minai activity --t notice to Vie school pMcipal and except in
Principals shoultl be advised a cordingly. From tlme to time rve telephone calls
from law enforcement officers complaining that a principal will oot let them c
ampus to interview students or to serve papers on sudents. The District does not
have the legal a,th,dty to stand in the Schoolhouse d— when the person seeking
entry is a law enforcement officer_ The only request that shoultl be made is thai the
officer It until a child has finished classes or has a free period In those cases where
the offcer agrees to wait, school authorities shoultl net make any contact with the child's
parents, unless that ci,t tis speciFlcaliy authorised by the law enforcement officer.
To interfere m the lawful In estigati a police offcer c nstitutes a first degree
misdemeanor pursuant to § 843,02, Fla nStat. A copy of that 1. Is attached.
