Overview
This bill changes Michigan’s school code to protect students from being unenrolled simply because another school has requested their records. It requires schools to receive written confirmation from the receiving school before unenrolling a student, ensuring the receiving school has accurate and complete information about the student’s enrollment. The confirmation must include details like the student’s name, date of birth, grade level, receiving school’s address, enrollment date, and verification of enrollment by an authorized official. This aims to streamline the transfer process and safeguard student enrollment.
