Summary

The law amends California’s Education Code to let students who are 14 years old or older and in foster care view their own school records even if a parent has not given written consent. This right is added alongside existing provisions for homeless and unaccompanied youth. The state must reimburse school districts for any costs incurred in complying with the new requirement.
