What type of records can be disclosed to juvenile justice authorities without consent?

Disciplinary records can be disclosed to juvenile justice authorities without consent because of specific provisions under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA allows educational institutions to share certain information with law enforcement and legal authorities when it pertains to a student's behavior, especially if there are concerns regarding safety or legal issues. Disciplinary records often contain details about violations of school policies, which are relevant to juvenile justice authorities in handling cases involving minors.

On the other hand, academic records, emergency contact information, and admission records have stricter privacy regulations under FERPA, requiring consent from the student or their guardian before being released because they do not pertain directly to law enforcement needs regarding student conduct.
