Policy 2815 – Contact and Involvement with Outside Agencies

The counseling staff, in consultation with other staff members, is responsible for reviewing
students’ academic progress as well as personal/social concerns. Where appropriate, the District
will make contact with and/or put students and their parents/guardians in contact with outside
agencies or professional resources. Where appropriate, the District will cooperate and assist
other agencies or professional resources that become involved with students. Student
information will not be provided to outside agencies or professional resources until the student’s
parents/guardians or the eligible student has signed a release of information form. Except as
required by law, including but not limited to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the cost of any services provided by the outside
agency or professional resource is the sole responsibility of individual parents/guardians or
eligible student.
