What record it asks for
Logging duty
The Act requires a school district board and a higher education governing board to adopt a notice policy, including notice to a student or parent when student information goes to a federal immigration authority, and to train the people the policy designates. A notice and a training requirement are not a log. The Act names no record of disclosures, no audit and no reader of a record.
