Summary

Certain information required on birth certificates for entrance to public schools. Requires principals or their designees to record in the pupil’s permanent school record the place and country of birth collected from information obtained on the birth certificate or affidavit submitted in lieu of the birth certificate. This bill also requires each school board to collect and report from the birth certificates and affidavits, the number of pupils without identifiable information enrolled in the public schools of the school division, by place and country of birth. Local school boards and the Superintendent of Public Instruction must also collect similar information during the triennial school census and report the findings on their websites and make the information available in writing upon request.
