School Records
Parents,
guardians and
adult pupils are guaranteed access to pupil records within 10 days,
without unnecessary delay, of the request to the Chief School
Administrator (CSA) or designee,
and prior to any review or hearing related to the pupil conducted in
accordance with the State
Board of Education. Copies of pupil records also are available upon
request for a reasonable
fee. A school reprentative shall be present during any record review to
provide interpretation
and to prevent alteration, damage or loss to the record. The district
will make every effort to provide the record information in the
dominant language of the parent/adult pupil.
Only authorized organizations, agencies or persons shall have
access
to pupil records. Should
the parental rights of one parent/guardian be terminated by a court
order, it is the responsibility of the person/agency having legal
custody to notify the district. Written parent
permission is required in some instances to allow non-school staff to
review a student file and
documentation of such review is required. Parents and adult pupils have
rights to challenge the
content contained in a pupil's record and, if necessary, file an
appeal. Federal, state and local laws, policies and procedures
pertaining to pupil records and parents rights can be obtained upon
request to the CSA
