HB1267 mandates school boards to create policies prohibiting non-school personnel from questioning students without parental presence.

HB1267 amends RSA 189:1-a to require school boards to establish policies preventing non-school personnel from questioning minor students without prior written parental permission. This includes attorneys, paralegals, and law enforcement, whether they are school employees or not. The policy also mandates that adult students be asked if they want their parents or guardians notified and present during questioning. Parents and guardians of minor students and adult students, if the adult student consents, have the right to be present during questioning and to have their own attorney present.
