8.10 Schools Sharing Information with CD During Investigation
Schools may share all appropriate information with CD during a CA/N investigation, i.e., information regarding the child that would assist CD in making a determination of whether abuse occurred. This can be done because CD was vested with the authority to investigate child abuse in 1969 (Sections 210.105 and 210.107 RSMo), prior to the passage of the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA)
