The Student Records Bill
Delaware protects student records from immigration agents
An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Disclosure Of Student Records.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would stop schools from sharing student records with immigration agents without a judge's order or state permission, protecting kids' privacy.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help keep kids' school information private. It would make it harder for immigration agents to get student records from schools or the state education office. This is good because it protects students, especially those from immigrant families, from having their personal school details shared without a very good reason or a judge's order. Some might say it makes it harder for law enforcement to do their job. But if you care about keeping student information safe, you should pay attention to this bill while it is still being decided.
