Maybe I'm in the wrong here, but... why not call and let the school know?

You're missing the point. Why didn't the school call before calling CPS and the cops on them?

In America, not every school is staffed to the point where they can have someone sit on phones all day. Most schools around me are working on shoestring budgets, and I'm in a fairly cosmopolitan area of California. It's even worse if you're in a rural area because there's no incentive to get good teachers there through pay rates or bonuses or anything like that. God help your kids if you're in a red state. They are giving emergency teaching credentials to anyone with a pulse.
