What this law does
Any private person that wishes to operate a basic education institution in Puerto Rico must have a protocol to guarantee the security of students' academic records and transcripts and the confidentiality of students' personal information. The protocol must include the process to follow if the institution closes. A basic education institution is a private or municipal school with elementary or secondary offerings, and the term excludes the public schools of the Department of Education.
Each year, by April 30, the operator must certify its compliance with these duties to the Department of State, under penalty of perjury. Operating a basic education institution in violation of the Act is a felony punishable by a $5,000 fine. The Act took effect on approval.
