House Bill No. by Representative Berault amends R.S. 17:112(B) and enacts R.S. 17:3996(B)(89) to enhance the requirements for student records during school transfers. The bill mandates that when a student transfers from one school to another, their records must include full disciplinary records, which encompass details of any suspensions or expulsions, including dates and reasons. This change aims to ensure that receiving schools have comprehensive information regarding a student's disciplinary history.

Additionally, the bill extends the requirements related to student records to charter schools, which were previously exempt from certain mandates applicable to public schools. By including R.S. 17:112 under the laws that charter schools must adhere to, the legislation ensures that charter schools maintain similar standards for student record-keeping, particularly concerning disciplinary records. This move is intended to promote transparency and accountability in the management of student information across all educational institutions in Louisiana.
