Go back to the police station. Insist on filing the complaint. Name the school officer as a conspirator after the fact since he is not taking action.

Go to the school board public meeting. It often has local media in attendance. Bring the issue up. Provide details. Tell them what the officer said.

Talk to a local reporter. Get media coverage.
=================================

The school and the cops are most interested in no waves. When you make some, there will be some push back, but in the end public shaming will get action.
