SUBJECT:
Permanent Records – Transfer Processes and Procedures
Year-End Permanent Record Transfers:
Permanent records for students leaving the school (either a boundary change or 6th and 9th grade advancement) need to be delivered in person to the appropriate school by the sending schools staff. Records need to be delivered on or before:
Traditional Schools: June 7, 2019
Year-Round schools: July 9, 2019
The receiving school will need to check the student list against each permanent record to assure all permanent records were received. Each bundle must be accompanied by two (2) alphabetized lists which includes the name of the sending school and receiving school. This should be signed by both the sending and receiving school. Computer lists or PDM’s may be used. Dead files should be provided to receiving schools separately in their own box.
General Permanent Record Transfer Procedures (District policy AS61):
- A parent release is not required when transferring student records from one school to another.
- Any school receiving a written request to forward a copy of a transferring student’s record to the new school shall comply within 30 days of the request, and within 10 days of the request for a military child’s records, unless the record has been flagged as a “Missing child,” in which case the copy may not be forwarded and the requested school shall notify the police department.
- Transfer the ORIGINAL records for students in grades K through 8.
- A CERTIFIED COPY of the cumulative/permanent record along with the original health record (Utah School Immunization Record) of students in grades 9 through 12 shall be transferred to requesting schools outside of Jordan School District. The ORIGINAL RECORDS and a copy of the health record of students in grades 9 through 12 shall be archived at the Jordan District high school.
- Maintain a record of the date the record transfer request was received and the date and school where the record was sent.
