What do the teachers tell each other?

But I'd assume the Survival, Combat, magic and psychic teachers would share important info like that as a matter of course simply because they REQUIRE the information to do their jobs safely.

Things like Rager results? Biohazards? Radiation? If you don't report those and someone gets exposed/injured? You're probably going to be packing your bags. The school deals with dangerous and unstable powers all the time; its their job to make sure everyone necessary is kept in the loop... to the extent that most faculty records regular (or even daily) observations in students files. Significant changes, holdouts, power changes, and so on? Hell yes. And you can bet that the range and combat instructors review new notations on every student's file before every class. It can be literally life and death if they don't. And when someone purposely records misinformation or disrupts the use of those records, bad things happen. You have only to look at some of Kayda's early arrival scenes to see that in action.

both have items on them that mislead people
Ayla with the Dark Chocolate weakness, Jadis with no real information about her abilities.
assuming of course, that the information for the MID is a large part of what staff like the range monkeys use for information on a student's capabilities.
Stupidity is a capitol offense, a summary not indictable one.

The Sim people are going off the submissions entered by the students, likely reviewed by both the techs (checking the MIDs), and Bardue and his staff (likely checking with other teachers and the MIDs) to flag ridiculous things.
Many student MIDs seem to have misleading information on them, Jade's is pure fiction. Note that Ito at least understands what Jade can actually do, even if he doesn't know how (although likely with his Ki abilities he sees the same link between Jade and J-Team that Kayda and a few others do). Ayla's Dark Chocolate weakness was just a trap to find out who had access to the MID records.
Also since all the students go through testing, Whateley probably has excellent records over what powers the students really have, whether or not the MIDs are correct.

To give some examples... Whateley's database on Jadis is certainly much more detailed than her MID. And lots of teachers and staff are aware of Jade's real powers, not the least because they read her entry *before* Ayla had it doctored.
Why isn't the school dropping the book on Ayla and Jade, then? Well, because they aren't endangering anyone else with that misinformation -- they are just being crafty, and the school sort of encourages craftiness. The non-obvious but dangerous parts of their powers -- Ayla's disintegration/BIT-disruption, Jade's high Regen -- ARE in their records. Yes, Jade can theoretically kill someone with a bit of wire. Does it matter that she is doing it with a PK projection instead of a devise as she claims? No, the relevant part of it is defending from the bit of wire.
And, more importantly, it's not something that is likely to happen by accident, even in the heat of a fight. Probably at least half of the students has potentially lethal mutant abilities.
Now, if Tennyo had kept her radiation emissions hidden, that would be a different matter worthy of punishment, because it can harm bystanders by accident.

A question I have regarding where this thread has gone and another also touched on... Is it Illegal to falsify and withhold information from an MID. If so, what is the crime and what punishments can be levied. Is it exacerbated if the false/withheld information and powers are not "harmless" but could present a clear and present danger?

You proceed from a false assumption; a MID is not a government document. It is issued by private, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization. In much the same way the Federal Reserve is a private, for-profit, bank, and governments make use of its documents, in the case of the Fed Federal Reserve Notes, but the Federal Reserve has as much governmental authority as Federal Express.
While both these organizations go out of their way to cloak themselves in government language, and to present themselves as 'official' and governmental they are not. Governments find it easy to use their documents and they find it useful to misrepresent themselves.
So the answer your questions there is no legal repercussions, because they're not legal documents to begin with.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
