Law and Order - (SKU) Special Kindergarten Unit



In order to enroll my 5 year old in kindergarten in the fall, we had to complete the following questionnaire regarding her activities up to this point in life:

Section 22.1-3.2 of the Code of Virginia requires that parents/guardians provide upon
registration of students in public schools:
A sworn statement or affirmation indicating whether the student has been
found guilty of or adjudicated delinquent for any offense listed in subsection
G of Section 16.1-260 or any substantially similar offense under the laws of
any state, the District of Columbia, or the United States or its territories.
These offenses are:
o A firearm offense
o Homicide
o Felonious assault and bodily wounding
o Criminal sexual assault
o Manufacture, sale, gift, distribution or possession of Schedule I or II controlled substances
o Manufacture, sale or distribution of marijuana
o Arson and related crimes
o Burglary and related offenses
o Robbery
o Prohibited street gang participation
o Prohibited street gang activity
o Recruitment of other juveniles for criminal street gang activity

The last one on the list is borderline (she is quite the leader on the playground), but I think we’re safe on the rest – never convicted.  

I'm not sure, but I'm thinking the lawyer who recommended this language for kindergarten admission is laughing his/her ass off.  Just a hunch.
