| (a) Prior to conducting an investigation under this
subchapter, we must notify the school principal (or the principal's
supervisor if the school principal is an alleged perpetrator) of the
fact that a report has been assigned for investigation, the nature
of the allegations contained in the report, and the date and time
we plan to visit the school campus to begin the investigation.
(b) We must also orally notify the superintendent of
the school district about the investigation. If the alleged perpetrator
is an employee of a charter school, we must orally notify the director
of the charter school of the investigation. If the alleged perpetrator
is an employee of a private school, we must orally notify the chief
executive officer of the private school of the investigation. If the
superintendent, director, or chief executive officer is the alleged
perpetrator, we must instead orally notify the president of the school
board or other local governing body.
(c) We must request that the school personnel notified
of the investigation as provided in subsections (a) and (b) of this
section not alert the alleged perpetrator or others regarding the
report until we have had an opportunity to interview the alleged perpetrator.
