What should system employees do if the police come with an arrest warrant for a student?
A. Unless student schedules are directory information, you should not give the student’s schedule to the officer. One option is to call the student to the main office (or a more private office) and allow law enforcement to serve the warrant at that location. However, if there is a safety issue (such as the student is wanted for a violent crime), the health and safety emergency exception of FERPA would allow you to inform law enforcement officials of the student’s location.
