New Guidelines Aim To Protect Children

CAPE MAY - The city Board of Education has adopted a policy that gives school personnel new and clearer directives for ^ handling and reporting instances of child abuse or missing children. Elizabeth Dworsky. ) supervising principal, said the guidelines come in part from "the fact that school districts in New Jersey are 5 taking a strong stand on safety for children. "In light of this, we are ) adopting policies to promote both safety and welfare of our pupils." she ) said. Dworsky said school staff members "Will act as child advocates if it is in- > dicated that this is needed." UNDER THE POLICY. , the school principal i Dworsky) has the key-role in deciding how reports of missing children or abuse are handled. Staff members who observe symptoms, or have knowledge of circumstances they would consider either abuse or neglect situations, are required to immediately contact the school nurse and the principal It will be the principal's responsibility to determine whether the case in point meets the legal definition of abuse or neglect without exposing the child to unnecessary attention, or focusing suspicion on innocent persons. WHEN THE PRINCIPAL finds abuse or neglect that meets legal definition, she must complete a written form, telephone the screening unit of the division of Youth and Family Services, and direct the nurse to complete a state Department of Education abuse report form. Neglect cases, the policy points out, are difficult to pursue successfully without proper documentation. It urges "extensive efforts" in this area befpre referrals.

When cases do not go to the Division of Youth and Family Services, no interviews should be permitted without parental or guardian consent, nor should school records be released without written parental peitnission, the policy states. "All matters pertaining to suspected cases of child abuse are to be held in strict confidence by all staff concerned," the guidelines state. WHEN THERE IS knowledge that a child may be missing, staff members are required to immediately notify the principal. The principal, in turn, shall try to contact parents or guardians, try an emergency phone number available to locate the child, and contact friends or neighbors with whom the child may be staying. Failing to locate the child, the principal must contact the police In addition, the principal is urged to alert parents to the importance of daily reporting instances of absenteeism "We probably have the most daily contact with children which is why it falls on our shoulders," said Dworsky, of the guidelines. TO FACILITATE their implementation, Dworsky said an affiliation agreement with the Division of Youth and Family Services is being negotiated. "It's an agreement that we'll work together on this," she said.

A policy on pupil attendance has also been adopted by the school board. It requires teachers to keep accurate daily . records of attendance. In instances where a pupil is absent or habitually late, parents are required to telephone the school with the reasons. STATEMENTS from a doctor are required when a child is absent because of a contagious disease when the child returns to class. Parents are required to confer with the principal in instances of truancy. "Pupils and the parent of pupils who are habitually truant will be proceeded against in the manner prescribed in Title 18A: 38-31," the policy warns. a word ^ wise
