Counseling is based on a trusting relationship between the SISP member (school counselor, school social worker, and school psychologist) and students. The SISP team member will keep information confidential with some possible exceptions.

SISP team members may share information with parents/guardians, the student’s teacher, and/or administrators who work with the student on a need to know basis, so that we may better support the student.

Under the following circumstances, the SISP team members are required by law to share information with others:

1. Presenting information about hurting herself/himself or another person

2. Evidence or disclosure of abuse (physically, emotionally, and sexually) or neglect

3. Threats to school security

4. Disclosure of requesting teachers/staff to call student by a different name or pronoun
