What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, pupil records are generally confidential. One exception to this general rule applies to directory data. Directory data may be disclosed to any person if a public school notifies parents and guardians of the categories of pupil information the school has designated as directory data, informs parents and guardians of an opt out procedure for such disclosures, and provides sufficient time for parents and guardians to utilize the opt out procedure.
Under current law, the categories of pupil information included in the definition of “directory data” include the pupil's name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, dates of attendance, photographs, weight and height as a member of an athletic team, degrees and awards received, and the school the pupil attended most recently. This bill adds the name of a pupil's parents or guardians to the list of categories of pupil information that a public school may designate as directory data.
