We have always allowed them access to the student without an employee present for the interview. My superintendent has now mandated that all interviews have a counselor or certified staff present...the DHS worker yesterday was not happy with this. We do not have a policy that reflects someone has to be present but he wants to move to that. So I am not clear on what the regulations are at this point. I have made a call to DHS but I have not heard back from them.
