Student Records and Transcripts
Cumulative Records
A cumulative record is kept for each student enrolled in school. The folder contains health records, an attendance record, and a scholarship record. This folder is kept current and accompanies the student throughout his/her school career. The name used on the cumulative record must be the same as that shown on the birth certificate, unless evidence is presented that such name has been legally changed. Student records are kept confidential and are subject to the Family Educational Right to Privacy Acts.
Only authorized school officials may have access to student information for legitimate educational purposes without the consent of the parent/guardian (or student if age 18).
INSPECTION OF STUDENT RECORDS
Parents and eligible (Eighteen-year-old) students may inspect and review the education record upon written request to the records custodian. The inspection must be completed within 45 days of the receipt of the request. A reasonable fee for copies provided will be determined.
