Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 38-1523 gives the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) and certain law enforcement agencies authority to investigate reports of suspected child abuse or neglect, and to interview children on school premises pursuant to such investigations. That statute does not give school officials the right to be present at interviews conducted on school premises. Similarly, L. 1985, ch. 112, section 1, which allows for the prerecording of a child's statement, does not prohibit the making of such recordings during the course of interviews conducted on school premises. The thrust of both K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 38-1523 and L. 1985, ch. 112, section 1 is to require the schools, SRS and law enforcement to cooperate with one another in doing what is in the best interests of the child.
