Whenever a child is adjudicated delinquent and the adjudication is taken into custody pursuant to subsection C, C1 or D of § 16.1-246 based upon a violation of the law involving (i) the unlawful purchase, possession or use of a weapon, (ii) homicide, an assault or any unlawful wounding, (iii) any controlled substance or marijuana, (iv) arson or (v) burglary, the clerk of the juvenile court intake officer shall provide written notice of the disposition ordered by the court, including the nature of the offense upon which the adjudication was based for which the child was taken into custody, to the superintendent of the school division in which the child is enrolled at the time of the disposition arrest or, if he is not then enrolled in school, the division in which he was enrolled at the time of the offense. Further disclosure of this information by the superintendent to school personnel is authorized only to allow appropriate action within the school setting with regard to the juvenile child or another student.
