As prescribed in Utah Law (78-3a-113) the juvenile court and law enforcement agencies will notify the school superintendent of the district when a minor has been adjudicated or taken into custody or detention for a violent felony. Within three working days of receiving the notification, the superintendent has designated the Student Services Department to do the following:

1. Send the principal a copy of the notification letter from Juvenile Court or the law enforcement agency.
2. Send the principal the “Notification of Student Taken into Custody/Detention or Adjudicated of a Violent Felony Disclosure Form.”  

Upon receipt of the information, the principal shall:

1. Share information about the offender and the victim with staff members who need to know for the safety of students and staff.
2. Complete the “Notification of Student Taken into Custody/Detention or Adjudicated of a Violent Felony Disclosure Form.”
3. Keep this information in a secure file available only to those with a need to know. This file should be separate from the student’s permanent file.
