Pupil records: parental access.
- Expands parental access rights to include both official and unofficial school records of their children.
- Maintains existing protections that prevent access when prohibited by court orders.
- Preserves parents' rights to question and receive responses about inaccurate information in records.
Assembly Member Patterson's proposal to amend California's Education Code expands parental access rights by explicitly including both official and unofficial school records among the materials parents and guardians can review. The change modifies existing law that guarantees parents access to their children's educational records as part of their broader rights to participate in public school education.
The amendment clarifies the scope of accessible records while preserving other established parental rights, including classroom observation, teacher conferences, volunteer opportunities, and participation in school governance. The law continues to exempt cases where court orders restrict parental access due to custody arrangements or protective orders.
