All students have school records.
The information in the record is needed and used by school staff, parents, and the students themselves to plan educational and career programs. The total school record is called the cumulative folder, but different parts of the cumulative folder may be kept in different places. For example, special education records are kept in a confidential folder which is usually separate from the cumulative folder. By law, parents have the right to examine their child's records within established procedures. Parents should contact the school to make arrangements to review the records.
