JUVENILE COURT RECORDS
Records or information received on youthful or violent offenders shall not be disclosed except as permitted by law.
When such information is received, the Superintendent shall notify the Principal of the school in which the child is
enrolled. The Principal shall then release the information as permitted by law. Only the Superintendent and school
administrative, transportation, and counseling personnel or teachers with whom the student may come in contact, shall
be privy to this information, which shall be kept in a locked file when not in use and opened only with permission of the
administrator. Notification in writing of the nature of offenses committed by the student and any probation requirements shall
not become a part of the child's student record.
RECORDS OF MISSING CHILDREN
Upon notification by the Commissioner of Education of a child's disappearance, the District in which the child is
currently or was previously enrolled shall flag the record of such child in a manner that whenever a copy of or information
regarding the child's record is requested, the District shall be alerted to the fact that the record is that of a missing child.
Instead of forwarding the records of a child who has been reported missing to the agency, institution, or individual making
the request, the District shall notify the Justice Cabinet.
COURT ORDER/SUBPOENA
Prior to complying with a lawfully issued court order or subpoena requiring disclosure of personally identifiable
student information, school authorities shall make a documented effort to notify the parent or eligible student. However,
in compliance with FERPA, when a lawfully issued court order or subpoena requires disclosure be made without
notification of the student or parent, the District shall comply with that requirement. If the District receives such an order,
the matter may be referred to local counsel for advice.
