Bill Summary
This bill requires the department of education to assume responsibility for the maintenance of student records for chartered public schools that have closed.
AI Summary
This bill requires the New Hampshire Department of Education to take responsibility for maintaining student records when a chartered public school closes. Specifically, the department must obtain and preserve pupil registers (student enrollment records), complete individual high school transcripts, and ensure that students or their guardians can request certified transcripts at no cost. The department must also certify periods of enrollment upon request and notify former students and guardians about the disposition of their educational records. A "chartered public school" in this context refers to a school authorized by the state board of education under a specific statute (RSA 194-B:3-a). The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, and while a full fiscal impact assessment is pending, it aims to protect students' educational documentation when their school closes by creating a centralized record-keeping process for these specific schools.
