Legal Question in Education Law in California

My children go to a private school in Los angeles ,the principal has been harrassing our family and singling us out because an IEP pointed to one of my kids as not needing services and pointed to issues occuring in the private school as the issue. Ever since the school has been picking on us and trying to kick our children out. I have a ton of harrassment evidence against them . In one of the harassing email we got ,by mistake the principal forwarded a previous email to us and he bcc'd the school conselor ,a student support person who i had specifically asked that she not be involved with my children because she refused to provide records after the EIP did not go the way she had wished and the school lawyer who i think has his children in the school . I was wondering if the principal needed to get my consent before sharing my kids information with the conselor and the student support. we are looking for a class action lawyer as many parents have been harrassed by this principal

The rules are definitely different for a private versus public school. When you said "counsellor," is that a licensed clinical or educational psychologist? They have ethical and legal obligations to obtain parental consent and to assure confidentiality.
