Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Privacy rules cover blind people’s records
Student-data privacy and access rules also apply, where appropriate, to agency exchanges of records about blind or deafblind people. This protection applies when the person or their guardian requests the record exchange.
Parents keep timely special education records
Parents retain access to district records about their child’s identification, evaluation, placement, or free appropriate public education. Districts must provide them without undue delay and within 10 business days after a request. They may remove other children’s identifying information unless disclosure is legally required. Parents generally pay for independent educational evaluations unless a hearing finds the district’s evaluation inappropriate. The district must pay when a hearing orders an independent evaluation.
Private addresses stay protected in school
Student records in the shared system must use a substitute address for participants in Oregon’s address confidentiality program. Districts still use the student’s actual address for admission or school assignment. They must keep that actual address confidential.
Funding and oversight for school records
The law adds $2.030304 million for student data system development for the two-year budget period beginning July 1, 2025. Oregon’s education department must set data standards, support existing local systems, and protect records during the change. It must provide technical support and schedules for testing, training, and rollout. Districts and education service districts must be ready by the later of two dates: the department’s first system contract date or their existing provider contract’s expiration. Advisory committee appointments are due December 1, 2025. Members include school staff, health providers, special education experts, agency representatives, two public, parent, or student members, and 15 representatives of a student-system coordinating organization. The committee oversees rollout, reviews cybersecurity, coordinates Medicaid billing, and consults early childhood specialists. It reports to the State Board and legislative education committees by October 1 of every even-numbered year. These implementation and committee requirements end July 1, 2035; the law also repeals ORS 326.580 that day. The supplied text does not explain that statute’s separate effect. The law takes effect on passage, with specified amendments delayed until July 1, 2035.
Schools must use shared student records
Oregon’s education department must create a shared electronic method for handling student records across school systems. School districts, education service districts, and public charter schools must use it. It supports faster transfers, fewer duplicate records, compatible school health records, and increased Medicaid billing. Required data include names, state student numbers, demographics, test results, completed courses, and education records. It also includes special education and Section 504 plans, evaluations, daily attendance, classroom removals, shortened days, and exclusionary discipline. Medical alerts and health data needed for state reporting are included. Department research access must follow confidentiality laws. The State Board of Education must include the method in its record rules and distribute them to districts and education service districts. Districts must make the rules publicly available.
Health departments can share vaccination records
Beginning July 1, 2035, listed privacy and student-data laws do not block specified local health department vaccination-record sharing. The records must concern immunization against diseases subject to public-health restrictions. Inspection or release to administrators without consent requires an emancipated or adult person, or a recipient who is a child’s parent. Departments can also release this information by phone to a parent, administrators, or public health officials.
