What laws are there requiring teachers, principals, school nurses, not to keep mum on this? Should a child be made to get counseling for this?

I dont know if they have to tell the parents that the child is pregnant, but I know they cant do anything on a medical level without there consent. You canT give a child a asprin in school without parental consent.
