CONCORD — St. Paul’s School does not have to report every instance of assault involving a student to Concord police, according to an agreement the school provided to the New Hampshire Union Leader Tuesday.

The school provided its updated agreement with the Concord Police Department, signed in September 2012, upon request.

The Union Leader made inquiries about any written agreement with police in light of the blockbuster report, released Monday, that detailed decades of sexual misconduct at the prestigious preparatory school.

The current agreement is written in compliance with the New Hampshire Safe Schools Act and spells out what crimes must be reported to police.
