Overview: SB 492 (S-1), Education: students; guidelines for unenrolling students; provide for. Amends sec. 1135 of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1135). Referred to Committee of the Whole with Substitute (S-1) on July 29, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to address gaps in the school enrollment process that may have contributed to the abandonment of three children in Pontiac, Michigan. The goal is to ensure that transfer students are re-enrolled in their new schools before being unenrolled from their previous schools.
Key Provisions:
- Prohibits a school from providing a copy of a student's record to the transfer school unless the previous school has received written confirmation that the student has been enrolled in the transfer school
- Requires a request for student records to include the student's full name, date of birth, and grade level
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would affect schools and school districts, as they would need to implement new procedures to verify a student's enrollment before transferring records. This could help prevent cases of student abandonment or unintended gaps in enrollment.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been referred to the Committee of the Whole with a substitute (S-1) and is currently in the legislative process.
