§ 806c. Educational records and enrollment — Article IV A

  • . Unofficial or “hand-carried” education records — In the event that official education records cannot be released to the parents for
    the purpose of transfer, the custodian of the records in the sending state shall prepare
    and furnish to the parent a complete set of unofficial educational records containing
    uniform information as determined by the Interstate Commission. Upon receipt of the
    unofficial education records by a school in the receiving state, the school shall
    enroll and appropriately place the student based on the information provided in the
    unofficial records pending validation by the official records, as quickly as possible. B. Official education records and transcripts — Simultaneous with the enrollment and conditional placement of the student, the school
    in the receiving state shall request the student’s official education record from
    the school in the sending state. Upon receipt of this request, the school in the sending
    state will process and furnish the official education records to the school in the
    receiving state within ten (10) days or within such time as is reasonably determined
    under the rules promulgated by the Interstate Commission. C. Immunizations — Compacting states shall give thirty (30) days from the date of enrollment or within
    such time as is reasonably determined under the rules promulgated by the Interstate
    Commission, for students to obtain any immunizations required by the receiving state.
    For a series of immunizations, initial vaccinations must be obtained within thirty
    (30) days or within such time as is reasonably determined under the rules promulgated
    by the Interstate Commission. D. Kindergarten and first grade entrance age — Students shall be allowed to continue their enrollment at grade level in the receiving
    state commensurate with their grade level (including Kindergarten) from a local education
    agency in the sending state at the time of transition, regardless of age. A student
    that has satisfactorily completed the prerequisite grade level in the local education
    agency in the sending state shall be eligible for enrollment in the next highest grade
    level in the receiving state, regardless of age. A student transferring after the
    start of the school year in the receiving state shall enter the school in the receiving
    state on their validated level from an accredited school in the sending state. (Added 2011, No. 43, § 1.)
