Sometimes school and district personnel must involve law enforcement in disciplinary actions, which may include reporting specific offenses or directing school resource officers to address certain infractions. This data point examines when state statute or regulation requires schools to involve law enforcement agencies and personnel and for which offenses or matters. Most states require criminal behavior, firearm/weapon possession and controlled substance possession/use to be reported to law enforcement. At least three states (Massachusetts, New York and Oklahoma) require reporting certain instances of bullying to law enforcement. This document is part of the "50-State Comparison: School Discipline Policies" that provides much-needed context for considerations of school discipline by outlining current state statute and regulations in an easily accessible format.
