Nothing in ORS 40.225 to 40.295 shall affect the duty to report imposed by subsection (1) of this section except that a physician, licensed psychologist, member of the clergy or attorney shall not be required to report information communicated by an adult if such information is privileged under ORS 40.225 to 40.295.

Upon receipt of a report under subsection (1) of this section, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall verify whether the child is enrolled in a special education program and may cause an investigation, including an evaluation under ORS 343.146, to be made to determine whether the child is eligible for a program under ORS 343.221.

As used in this section, “public or private official” has the meaning given in ORS 419B.005.
