This bill amends R.S. 17:112(B) and enacts R.S. 17:3996(B)(89) to enhance the requirements regarding student records during school transfers. Specifically, it mandates that when a student transfers from one school to another, the principal must include the student's full 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 about a student's disciplinary history.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that charter schools are subject to the same requirements regarding student records as public schools, specifically referencing R.S. 17:112. This inclusion ensures that charter schools must also provide full disciplinary records upon student transfers, thereby promoting consistency and transparency in student record-keeping across different types of educational institutions.
