Senator Bullard has a bill (SB1123) requiring parents & guardians of all children in public schools to give all private medical records to their public school district, regarding all past & present mental health care.
https://legiscan.com/OK/text/SB1123/2020 The bill appears to allow all the faculty & staff of the district to have all the mental health records of all the students who had gotten any care or treatment for anything which is loosely called a mental health facility, for things including for traumatic events, such as victimization & molestation, bullying, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, family counseling, and other matters. Current law already empowers mental health clinicians to notify law enforcement of safety concerns relating to a patient. But this law would force every parent to not only tell the school administration everything, but also empower the school to have meetings with all past or present clinicians; and then sort out all the data and discuss within themselves what should be done about the child's history. |
