School Resource Officers. For purposes of access to student records, the SROs may be provided student information if the SRO requires the information to protect the health or safety of a student or other person in an emergency situation, as described in this MOU under Health and Safety Emergency. SROs may be provided student information to the extent that school record information is directly relevant to a criminal investigation in a matter that cannot be resolved through school disciplinary procedures, or on a routine basis, the SROs' access to student record information shall be limited to a system- wide district look up of directory information (defined below) that will include information on all students in the school system who have not opted-out of the disclosure of directory information. In addition to this system-wide district look up of directory information, SROs will also be granted access to a school-wide look up for students in the school to which the SRO is assigned. This school-wide look up will include additional items of information, such as class schedule, that an SRO may need to perform his or her duties, but which are not designated as directory information. The SROs may have access to other student record information only when needed to carry out their duties in the school environment and only as approved by the school principal. The SROs may only disclose student records and information contained therein to the RPD/RCSO and to other law enforcement officials as described below. The SROs may disclose "law enforcement records" to RPD/RCSO and other law enforcement officials. "Law enforcement records" are those records, files, documents, and other materials that are created and maintained by an SRO for the purpose of ensuring the physical safety and security of people and property in RCPS and/or the enforcement of any local, state or federal law even if such records also serve the dual purpose of investigating and enforcing school disciplinary rules. Because "law enforcement records" are not student records, they are not subject to the disclosure restrictions of FERPA. Copies of law enforcement records that are provided to school administrators for the purpose of school discipline become student records that may be maintained in student files and are subject to the disclosure provisions of FERPA. The original law enforcement record maintained by the SRO, however, remains exempt from the disclosure provisions of FERPA. Any record that is created and maintained by an SRO exclusively for the purpose of a possible school disciplinary action against the student would fall outside the definition of law enforcement record. Such records would be subject to the disclosure provisions of FERPA. Va. Code Xxx. §19.2-11.2 requires written consent from a victim of sexual assault, sexual abuse, or family abuse, before law enforcement personnel may publicly release any information that directly or indirectly identifies that victim. Additionally, a 2017 amendment to the statute requires written consent of the next of kin of a child who dies as a result of a crime before law enforcement personnel may publicly release any information that directly or indirectly identifies that victim. There are exceptions to this prohibition, which permit the release of information if the information is of the site of a crime, is required by law, is necessary for law enforcement purposes, or is permitted by the court.
