121A.26 SCHOOL PREASSESSMENT TEAMS.
Every public school, and every nonpublic school that participates in a school district
chemical abuse program shall establish a chemical abuse preassessment team. The preassessment
team must be composed of classroom teachers, administrators, and to the extent they exist in each
school, school nurse, school counselor or psychologist, social worker, chemical abuse specialist,
and other appropriate professional staff. The superintendents or their designees shall designate
the team members in the public schools. The preassessment team is responsible for addressing
reports of chemical abuse problems and making recommendations for appropriate responses to
the individual reported cases.
Within 45 days after receiving an individual reported case, the preassessment team shall
make a determination whether to provide the student and, in the case of a minor, the student's
parents with information about school and community services in connection with chemical
abuse. Data may be disclosed without consent in health and safety emergencies pursuant to
section 13.32 and applicable federal law and regulations.
Notwithstanding section 138.163, destruction of records identifying individual students shall
be governed by this section. If the preassessment team decides not to provide a student and, in the
case of a minor, the student's parents with information about school or community services in
connection with chemical abuse, records created or maintained by the preassessment team about
the student shall be destroyed not later than six months after the determination is made. If the
preassessment team decides to provide a student and, in the case of a minor, the student's parents
with information about school or community services in connection with chemical abuse, records
created or maintained by the preassessment team about the student shall be destroyed not later
than six months after the student is no longer enrolled in the district.
