AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of "school student record" under the Illinois School Student Records Act to include written or electronic communications, along with any attachments, that are sent to or from a parent, guardian, or other family member of a student. These communications, if maintained by the school or its employees and related to the student's education, health, safety, discipline, or well-being, will now be considered part of the student's record, regardless of whether the student is individually identified in them. This change aims to ensure that a broader range of communications concerning a student's welfare and educational journey are officially documented and protected under the Act.
