A certified copy of the permanent, or cumulative, file of any student and the file containing special education records of any student shall be forwarded by mail, or electronically, to a local educational agency or accredited school in which the student seeks to or intends to enroll within five (5) working days after receipt of a written or electronic request. The files that are forwarded must include education records in the permanent file (as defined by the Board), special education records, and any disciplinary actions taken against the student that are educationally related.

If the records cannot be transferred within five (5) days, the District shall notify the requestor in writing or electronically, providing the reasons why the District is unable to comply with the five (5)-day time frame. The District shall also include in that notice the date by which the requested records will be transferred. A request for the transfer of records shall not be refused because the student owes fines or fees.
