What is not required from a student when revealing their alcohol or drug violations to their parents?

Revealing alcohol or drug violations to parents typically requires some form of notification from the educational institution, but not necessarily written consent from the student. Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), while schools are encouraged to respect students' privacy, they can disclose information to parents without student consent if there are specific exceptions, such as health or safety concerns.

Written consent is not a requirement for a school to inform parents of alcohol or drug violations, especially if the student is under a certain age, typically 21, where parental notification can be allowed without explicit permission. The other options mentioned suggest actions that are more formal and not typically necessary for notifying parents regarding such violations. Hence, the absence of a requirement for written consent is a key aspect that supports the correct choice.
