The School Must Call the Police
School officials must call the police right away if school officials know that someone has done, or is going to do, something at school that injures someone or damages property.
Police officers have discretion and may or may not respond the way you want.
What Can You Do if the School Does Not Call the Police?
Try to file charges at the police department.
You can report the incident to the School Board in writing or in person at a board meeting.
You can look for an attorney to get the school to report the incident to the police.
If an attorney has to file papers in court, then you can get back your attorney fees and court costs.
