Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia: 1. That §22.1-260 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted and that the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 22.1-287.02 as follows: §22.1-260. Reports of children enrolled and not enrolled; nonattendance. A. Within 10 days after the opening of the school, each public school principal shall report to the division superintendent: 1. The name, age and grade of each student enrolled in the school, and the name and address of the student's parent or guardian; and 2. To the best of the principal's information, the name of each child subject to the provisions of this article who is not enrolled in school, with the name and address of the child's parent or guardian. B. At the end of each school year, each public school principal shall report to the division superintendent the number of students by grade level for whom a conference was scheduled as required by §22.1-258. The division superintendent shall compile such grade level information for the division and provide such information to the Superintendent of Public Instruction annually.
§22.1-287.02. Unique student identification numbers. A. Neither the Department of Education nor any local school board shall require any student enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school or receiving home instruction pursuant to §22.1-254.1, or his parent, to provide the student's federal social security number. B. The Department of Education shall develop a system of unique student identification numbers. Each local school board shall assign such a number to each student enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school. No student identification number shall include or be derived from the student's federal social security number. Each student shall retain his student identification number for as long as he is enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school in the Commonwealth. 2. That the provisions of this act shall become effective on August 1, 2015. |
