	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2453, Runner.  Pupil records.
   Existing law finds and declares that the mobility of pupils in
foster care often disrupts their educational experience.  Existing
law authorizes parents of currently enrolled or former pupils access
to any and all pupil records related to their children which are
maintained by school districts or private schools.
   This bill would authorize foster family agencies with jurisdiction
over currently enrolled or former pupils to access records of grades
and transcripts, and individualized education plans maintained by
school districts or private schools of those pupils.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 49069.3 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   49069.3.  Foster family agencies with jurisdiction over currently
enrolled or former pupils may access records of grades and
transcripts, and any individualized education plans (IEP) that may
have been developed pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section
56300) of Part 30 maintained by school districts or private schools
of those pupils.
