(1) a school official, including a teacher or a contract service provider, who has a legitimate educational interest;

(c) If a child with a disability transfers to another school, each district shall transmit with other student records, including the child's current IEP, all statements of current and previous disciplinary action regarding the child, to the same extent that disciplinary information would be included in and transmitted with the records of a child without a disability.
