School guidelines were not passed by the county/state/federal legislature - they are not law.
A school board is not a law making body.
School guidelines are merely process policy.

There are no infractions or penalties associated with them in any way whatsoever.

'Not following school guidelines' is not any kind of legal offense.




Guidelines are part of the liability management process for members of an institution.
If whatever an employee does follows institutional guidelines, then the institution is liable for the results, not the employee.
This way the employees are shielded from penalties/lawsuits/jail/etc by the institution they act as agents of.

An institution is basically 'etherial', and can't actually be 'punished', as it feels no pain. So it's basically a cop-out from justice. Which is why it makes such a good safety net.

The reverse works out too. A single bad employee can cost the institution a lot. If the institution is lost, other members are out of a job.
So the policies let an institution disown an employee that breaks policy and gets into trouble. Then that employee is liable for his individual actions, and the institution is safe.

Hence, an institution may take action against its own employees for violating policy, but that's an employer/employee issue related to how an employee is doing their job.
Enforcement is necessary because if an institution is found to not enforce its policies, then it's as if there are no policies, and the institution can not disown an employee that doesn't follow policies and gets into trouble.




This arrest can not in any way be made on account of school guidelines. That's not even 'a thing'.

The excuse for the arrest was 'disorderly conduct' - and that's what you need to find in the video to verify that it's a legitimate arrest.

We'll see how this turns out with the video being available.
Usually you can't defend from that charge, since it's word against word, and the courts assume the officer is telling the truth.

The charge is subjective anyways, so the truth is up to people's opinion.
Anything can be disorderly when it's up to opinion.
"Nodding hello" could be disorderly, in someone's "opinion".
... And it's the officer's opinion.
A fine example of screwy laws that shouldn't even exist.
It's one of the 'catch-all' offenses that anyone can be charged with at any time.
