FOIA-STUDENT COMMS

Summary

The bill changes Illinois' Freedom of Information Act to keep certain school‑student and parent letters and attachments out of public inspection and copying. It applies to any written exchange between an educational institution and a student or the student's parent/guardian, but only when the Illinois School Student Records Act or the federal FERPA does not already cover the information. This limits public access to private educational communications.
