What must school personnel do with the disclosed information related to client threats?

Maintain confidentiality, per FERPA guidelines, but disclose if necessary to protect safety
Share the information with all school parents
Ignore the information unless instructed otherwise
Post the information in a public area for awareness

The correct answer is: Maintain confidentiality, per FERPA guidelines, but disclose if necessary to protect safety

School personnel must always maintain confidentiality when it comes to client information, as mandated by FERPA guidelines. However, in certain situations where the safety of an individual or the public is at risk, it may be necessary to disclose this information. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it balances the need for confidentiality with the obligation to protect safety. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not prioritize the safety of individuals and may even violate FERPA guidelines. Sharing sensitive information with all school parents or posting it publicly can also potentially harm the individual and undermine trust in the school's confidentiality policies. School personnel must always follow the appropriate guidelines and protocols when it comes to disclosing information related to client threats.
