The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding a new section, 1598, which establishes specific conditions under which a pupil may be unenrolled from a public or nonpublic school. It prohibits schools from unenrolling a pupil solely based on a records request from another school. Additionally, it requires that a pupil can only be unenrolled if the governing body of the school receives written confirmation of enrollment from the school that will be receiving the pupil.
The written confirmation must include essential details such as the pupil's full name, date of birth, grade level at the receiving school, the name and address of the receiving school, the date of official enrollment, and a signature from an authorized official of the receiving school to verify the enrollment. This amendment aims to ensure that students are not unfairly unenrolled and that there is proper documentation of their transfer between schools.
