披露学生怀孕情况

If a School employee is informed of a student’s pregnancy or related condition by a student or a person who has a legal right to act on behalf of the student, the employee must provide the student or the student’s representative with the Title IX Coordinator’s contact information for further assistance, unless the employee reasonably believes the Title IX Coordinator has already been notified.
