Asked in CA May 21, 2022 ,  0 answers Visitors: 1
Last Friday I picked up my 9 yr old daughter early from school. Office staff failed to ask for my I.d. or verify my relationship to her. I asked the staff their school policy on a child being picked up & taken off grounds. I was informed that they must check I.d and verify with emergency card who is authorized to pick up a student. This is a big concern to me, the school violated their policy and released my daughter to me w/out verifiyng me identity, until I questioned them. Can I hold the school liable for violating policy & placing my child at risk? This is a serious matter, my daughter has court ordered supervised visits with her biological mother, I don't want the schools negligence to affect her safety or life.

Hello:

I would suggest filing a written complaint with the Board and/or Superintendent. Ensure they have all court paperwork limiting to whom they are to release your daughter. Also, meet with the Principal, and all relevant office personnel to ensure they do check every single time. You have to first handle YOUR situation, then complain more broadly.

You may also want to look into a filing with the local county grand jury if you can't get anywhere.

If you are still worried about this- a letter from an attorney would not hurt, even at this early stage!
