Yes, the attorney in charge of a criminal action involving your child as part of his or her investigative duties has the right to discuss the criminal case of the minor child with his or her school's officials absent any order from the court stating that is not allowed.
The degree of discussion is not set forth in your question. There are limitations as to how much can be discussed due to the fact that the proceeding against your child is a juvenile proceeding. If you do not have a criminal defense attorney retained to represent your child, you should do so.
Good luck.
