(b) An LEA may disclose information contained in a student's education record to appropriate parties, including members of the threat assessment team and the members' respective agencies, in the event of an emergency if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals. Any disclosure under this subsection (b) must comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ), § 10-7-504 , the Data Accessibility, Transparency and Accountability Act, compiled in chapter 1, part 7 of this title, and all other relevant state and federal privacy laws.

Confidential information may be shared with the threat assessment team only as necessary to protect the safety of the individual or others. Nothing in this part compels an agency or individual to share records or information unless required by law.
