                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

   An act to add Section 49074.5 to the Education Code, relating to
pupils.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1166, as amended, Solorio. Pupils: privacy of pupil records:
standardized test scores and grades.
   Existing law establishes the public school system in this state,
pursuant to which school districts, county offices of education, and
charter schools provide educational services to pupils in
kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, at elementary and
secondary schools throughout the state. Existing law generally
requires school districts, as defined to also include county offices
of education and charter schools, to establish, maintain, and destroy
pupil records according to regulations adopted by the State Board of
Education.
   This bill would prohibit school districts from including, or
causing to be included, on a pupil's school identification card or
any other object that a pupil is required  or encouraged
 by school officials to carry on his or her person while
present at school, any information about that pupil's scores on
standardized tests or the course grades that the pupil has received.
The bill would define "information" for these purposes to include the
pupil's actual test scores or grades, the percentile or range into
which those test scores or grades fall, or any symbol, color, logo,
or other device or emblem used to represent or convey any information
about those test scores or grades.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
