What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
