1 11 person's custodial parent or legal guardian of such
1 12 possession, whether or not the person is arrested or a
1 13 citation is issued pursuant to section 805.16, unless the

1 15 notification is not in the best interests of the person or
1 16 will endanger that person. The peace officer shall also make
1 17 a reasonable effort to identify the school which the person
1 18 attends and may attempt to notify the superintendent or the

1 25 and to notify the superintendent of the school district or the
