STUDENT RECORDSThe regulations pertaining to Student Records were developed by the State Board of Education to ensure parents, students, and former students of their rights of confidentiality, inspection, amendment and destruction of student records. Student records consist of:
The transcript contains the student's name, address, phone number, and birth date. The temporary record may include test scores, class rank, teacher evaluations, health records and other material. As outlined in the regulations, all temporary records (records other than transcript) shall be destroyed within five (5) years after a student graduates, transfers or withdraws from school. The school will notify former students and their parents in writing that the temporary record is being destroyed and of their right to review or take this material. Each student's transcript will be maintained for sixty (60) years following graduation, withdrawal or transfer from the school. Students are entitled to see their entire student record within two (2) weekdays of a request. Information in a student record is not available to anyone outside the school system without written permission from the student. A student will be required to sign a release form authorizing the school to send specific information to a third party such as a college, employer or other agency if he/she requests this action. Further information on students' rights as they pertain to student records may be obtained from the administration or the student services office. |
