                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

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



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1166, 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 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. The bill would express the intent of the Legislature that it
not be construed to prohibit schools from honoring or recognizing
pupil achievement nor to prohibit a pupil, at his or her option, from
wearing or displaying an emblem or insignia that honors or
recognizes his or her academic achievements.



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

  SECTION 1.  Section 49074.5 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   49074.5.  (a) A school district shall not include, or cause to be
included, on a pupil's school identification card or any other object
that a pupil is required 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. As used in this section, "information" includes, but is not
necessarily limited to, 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.
   (b) It is the intent of the Legislature that this section not be
construed to prohibit schools from honoring or recognizing pupil
achievement nor to prohibit a pupil, at his or her option, from
wearing or displaying an emblem or insignia that honors or recognizes
his or her academic achievements.
