This bill amends R.S. 17:112(B) and enacts R.S. 17:3996(B)(89) to enhance the requirements for student records during school transfers in Louisiana. Specifically, it mandates that when a student transfers from one school to another, the principal must include the student's full school disciplinary record in the transferred documents. This includes details about any suspensions or expulsions, such as the dates and reasons for these disciplinary actions. The bill aims to ensure that receiving schools have complete information regarding a student's disciplinary history.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that charter schools are subject to the same requirements regarding student records as public schools, as specified in R.S. 17:112. This inclusion ensures that charter schools maintain transparency and accountability in handling student disciplinary records, aligning them with the standards set for traditional public schools. The changes reflect a commitment to providing comprehensive student records to support informed decision-making in educational settings.
