Provides relative to the sharing of certain student data
Proposed legislation expands the grades for which the governing authority of each public school must annually collect certain
identifiable information from students to grades prekindergarten through twelve; adds family income and race and ethnicity
to the list of data to be collected. Provides for the disclosure of personally identifiable data to entities other than those
specifically listed in statute with written consent of the student’s parent or guardian. Requires each public school to notify
the parent or legal guardian of each student of the items of student information to be collected and that such information will
be disclosed to LA postsecondary education institutions and the LA Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA) for
processing applications for admission and state and federal financial aid, and to the Board of Regents to be used for
providing reports to the school governing authority and developing policies designed to improve student academic
achievement.

EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
There may be an indeterminable increase in local school expenditures as a result of this measure.
There is currently no universal method by which public schools can annually collect data on a child’s family income. In some
cases, income data can be obtained from applications for free or reduced-price lunches; however, a number of districts no
longer collect these applications.
Schools will need to implement a new data-gathering mechanism, such as an annual family income form, and require
students’ parents or guardians to return it. The increase in cost and workload associated with this data-gathering is
indeterminable. To the extent the prescribed information can be collected as part of annual data gathering efforts of the
school districts, the potential workload and expenditure impact is expected to be nominal.
REVENUE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental revenues as a result of this measure.
