The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current Arizona Revised Statutes section 15-142 regarding the disclosure of student directory information. Under current law, a school may disclose a student's address, phone number, or email address only if the parent or eligible student has not opted out of the disclosure and the disclosure is to school employees for school business purposes. The bill expands the list of permissible disclosures by adding that schools may also share this information with parents of students enrolled in the school and representatives of nonprofit organizations that support the school, school district, or charter school.
Additionally, the bill makes technical and conforming changes to the existing statute. It removes the word "either" from the current language and replaces it with "any of the following," thereby clarifying the categories of individuals to whom student information may be disclosed. The bill also reorders the subsections related to disclosures, ensuring that the new provisions are integrated smoothly into the existing legal framework.
