What this law does
Section 1123 of title 3 of the Commonwealth Code gives the parents or legal guardians of enrolled or formerly enrolled students, and students who have attained the age of eighteen and attend an institution of post-secondary education, an absolute right to access their educational records. The Board must adopt and maintain procedures for granting valid requests by entitled persons to inspect, review or be provided copies of their students' educational records.
Valid record requests from entitled persons must be granted within five business days of the request. Qualified personnel must be made available to interpret the records when necessary and on request. The section was enacted by Public Law 20-48, which takes effect upon the Governor's approval.
