SUMMARY OF BILL: Requires a local education agency (LEA) to transfer copies of a
student's records to the school or LEA to which the student is transferring within three days of the
transfer date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• Pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 49-6-3001(c)(1), LEAs are required to remit copies of a
student’s records, including disciplinary records, to the school to which the student
transfers, if in the same LEA, or to the LEA to which the student transfers.
• The proposed legislation requires LEAs to transfer student records within three days of the
transfer date if the student enrolls into a different school within the same LEA or a new
LEA.
• LEAs will be able to remit student records within the specified timeframe utilizing existing
staff and resources. Any fiscal impact is estimated to be not significant.
