Summary

The bill requires every public and nonpublic primary or secondary school in Maryland to adopt written policies that protect student record privacy and outline how parents can access or request disclosure of those records. It also obligates nonpublic pre‑kindergarten programs and nonpublic primary/secondary schools to submit an annual report on alleged discrimination incidents to the State Department of Education. The measures aim to increase transparency around student data and to track discrimination trends in private education.
