* State Laws Vary: Laws regarding minors' rights to privacy and parental notification regarding pregnancy vary significantly from state to state. Some states have laws that require or permit notification of parents in certain circumstances, even without the student's consent.
* Mandatory Reporting: If the nurse suspects the student is a victim of abuse or neglect (including sexual abuse that may have led to the pregnancy), they may be legally mandated to report this to the appropriate authorities, which could indirectly lead to parental notification.
* Student's Consent: The school nurse should generally obtain the student's consent before disclosing any information about their health, including pregnancy.
* Imminent Danger: In some situations where the student's health or safety is in imminent danger, the nurse may have a legal or ethical obligation to inform parents or other appropriate authorities, even without the student's consent.
In short, the answer is generally no, but there are significant exceptions and the specifics depend entirely on the relevant state laws and the particular circumstances. The school nurse should be familiar with their state's laws and school district policies regarding student privacy and mandatory reporting.
