District Records. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all student, personnel, medical, and District-related business records generated by District employees or students shall be the property of the District. The Parties agree to comply with all state and federal laws, including, but not limited to, the Illinois School Student Records Act (105 ILCS 10/1 et seq.), the Illinois Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act (740 ILCS 110/1 et seq.), the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1232g; 34 C.F.R. Part 99), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164), Illinois Personnel Records Review Act (820 ILCS 40/1 et seq.), Board Policy 7:340, Student Records, and all rules and regulations governing the release of student, personnel, and medical records. The SRO may have access to confidential student records or to personally identifiable information of any District student to the extent permitted under FERPA, ISSRA, and applicable District policies and procedures. The SRO shall not automatically have access to confidential student records or personally identifiable information in those records simply because he/she is conducting a criminal investigation involving a student. School officials may, however, share relevant student records and personally identifiable information in those records with the SRO under any of the following circumstances: i. The SRO is acting as a “school official” as it relates to accessing student records, as defined in 34 C.F.R. § 99.31, because he/she is exercising a function that would otherwise be performed by school personnel and has legitimate educational interests in the information to be disclosed. ii. The SRO has written consent from a parent/guardian or eligible student or review the records or information in question. iii. The School Principal or designee reasonably determines that disclosure to the SRO without parental consent is necessary in light of a significant and articulable threat to one or more person’s health or safety. iv. The disclosure is made pursuant to a valid court order, provided that advanced notice of compliance is provided to the parent/guardian or eligible student so that they may seek protective action from the court, unless the court has ordered the existence or contents of the court order or the information furnished in response to not be disclosed. v. The information disclosed is “directory information,” as defined by Board Policy 7:340, Student Records, and the parent/guardian or eligible student has not opted out of the disclosure of directory information. vi. The disclosure is otherwise authorized under FERPA, ISSRA and applicable District policies and procedures. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph will continue in full force and effect following such termination.
