[Counselors] Mid Del's documentation for students threatening self harm

[OSRHEStudent Prep PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

If the parent has signed the documentation that they were informed of their
child's threat of self harm, why would that not be placed in the student's
cumulative folder?  Wouldn't this information be helpful to the counselor
at the new school should the student transfer?   Is this against Oklahoma
SDE policy or law to place in folder?
