Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to establish clear guidelines for transferring student records between schools and local education agencies (LEAs). Specifically, when a student transfers within the same LEA, the original school must provide a complete copy of the student's records—including academic, disciplinary, behavioral, and special education records—to the new school within five business days of receiving a records request. Similarly, when a student transfers between different LEAs, the original LEA must provide the student's complete records to the new LEA within five business days. The bill also includes a provision that if records are sent for a potential transfer that does not ultimately occur, the receiving LEA or school must notify the original institution within five business days. Importantly, all record transfers must comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The bill aims to ensure timely and comprehensive transfer of student information while maintaining necessary privacy protections.
