	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Simitian

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2010

   An act to amend Section 49062 of the Education Code, relating to
pupil records.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1301, as introduced, Simitian. Pupil records.
   Existing law requires school districts to establish, maintain, and
destroy pupil records according to regulations adopted by the State
Board of Education. The regulations are required to establish state
policy as to what items of information shall be placed into pupil
records and what information is appropriate to be compiled by
individual school officers or employees, as specified.
   This bill would require the state board to ensure that permanent
pupil records include a unique pupil identifier to improve the
quality of statewide longitudinal data, enable local educational
agencies to readily determine the unique history of pupils when they
enroll, and to better enable the linking of cross-segmental data in a
preschool through higher education (P-20) data warehouse.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
