According to Colorado Mental Health Jurisprudence, what happens if a client poses an articulable and significant threat to a school?

The client should be immediately expelled
The professional may disclose the threat to appropriate school and law enforcement authorities
The school must ignore the threat
The professional must terminate the client

The correct answer is: The professional may disclose the threat to appropriate school and law enforcement authorities

If a client poses an articulable and significant threat to a school, the professional is obligated by Colorado Mental Health Jurisprudence to disclose the threat to appropriate school and law enforcement authorities. This is to ensure the safety of the students and staff at the school. It is not appropriate to ignore the threat or immediately expel the client, as this can further escalate the situation. Terminating the client should only be considered as a last resort and after appropriate steps have been taken to address and manage the threat.
