5215 - MISSING AND ABSENT CHILDREN
It is the intent of this Board of Education to cooperate with local, State, and National efforts to decrease the number of missing children.
The District Administrator is instructed to establish administrative guidelines whereby a student lacking records is admitted into the school followed by notification of the police rather than refusing entrance and notification of authorities. Such a procedure may reduce the risk of removal of the student from the area.
