RS 2517 - Creation of child identification cards
A. The sheriff shall annually send an identification officer to each elementary school in his parish at a time mutually agreed upon between the sheriff and the principal of the school. The visit shall be scheduled as soon after the beginning of the school year as is practicable and convenient. During the visit, the identification officer shall create a child identification card for each entering student whose parent has received a parent notification form and has not indicated his intention that his child not participate, and for each transfer student whose parent has signed a parent request form for his child.
B. The identification officer shall create the child identification card by affixing a child's photograph and fingerprints to a child identification card blank and by completing such other identifying information as required on the child identification form blank. The other identifying information may be completed by a school employee, volunteer, or other person designated by the identification officer.
C. A single set of fingerprints shall be taken for each child to be affixed to his child identification card. No copies shall be made or retained in any other manner than on a single child identification card. The card of each child shall be the property of the child's parent and shall be kept in the care and custody of the principal of the elementary school which the child attends.
