Who enforces it
Enforcement body
The governing board of a local education provider, through the parent complaint hearing policy it must adopt under section 22-16-112(2)
What this law does
The parent of a student enrolled by a local education provider has the right to inspect and review the child's student personally identifiable information maintained by the local education provider. The parent may request a paper or electronic copy of the child's student personally identifiable information, including information maintained by a school service contract provider.
If a parent requests an electronic copy, the local education provider must provide one unless it does not maintain the information in electronic format and reproducing it in an electronic format would be unduly burdensome. After receiving a request for correction that documents a factual inaccuracy, the local education provider that maintains the information must correct the inaccuracy and confirm the correction to the parent within a reasonable amount of time.
The governing board of each local education provider must adopt a policy for hearing complaints from parents about its compliance with the article, and must take action on a parent's complaint within sixty days after the hearing.
