    4. In exigent circumstances as authorized by law.

  2. School Administrators shall attempt to contact the student's parents/guardians prior to allowing law enforcement authorities to interrogate, search, or arrest a student at school, except when there are reasonable grounds to believe that a health or safety emergency requires the interrogation, search, or arrest to take place without prior notice.

  4. A student may be removed from school by law enforcement authorities when there is a court order, an arrest warrant, or when a warrantless arrest is authorized by law.
