What advice does your QSA have regarding writing the policy? There are generic templates available to write your company security policy. That policy doesn’t necessarily constitute legal definitions or requirements for any sort of breach, which may vary by locale and provider. I’m assuming EDUs will have their own set of rules as may non-profits. At best you will want to pass legal responsibility out of technical hands into C-Level/management hands to make decisions about whom is notified, what legal actions and third parties are called in. Your security policy can define when the buck is passed and left to a given committee.

It's also usually very illegal for non-attorneys or non-licensed attorneys to offer advice on legal matters. I recommend finding a lawyer with expertise in this area and who has specific knowledge of your operation.
