Arrests of Students Off School Grounds During Operating School Hours. When a student is arrested off school grounds during operating school hours, or under circumstances that would lead the arresting officer to believe that a school official was responsible for the care and custody of the student at the time of the arrest, or where the arresting officer reasonably believes that the student was in transit between school and his home at the time of arrest, the arresting officer shall, as soon as practicable, notify the building principal of the school in which the student is enrolled. All information concerning the basis and circumstances of the arrest shall be provided to the building principal on a confidential basis and in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 2A:4A-60, as summarized in Article 8.4 of this Agreement.
