Sec. 10. (a) Each public school shall and each private school may require a student who initially enrolls in the school to provide:
(1) the name and address of the school the student last attended; and
(2) a certified copy of the student's birth certificate or other reliable proof of the student's date of birth.
(b) Not more than fourteen (14) days after initial enrollment in a school, the school shall request the student's records from the school the student last attended.
(c) If the document described in subsection (a)(2):
(1) is not provided to the school not more than thirty (30) days after the student's enrollment; or
(2) appears to be inaccurate or fraudulent;
the school shall notify the Indiana clearinghouse for information on missing children and missing endangered adults established under IC 10-13-5-5 and determine if the student has been reported missing.
(d) A school in Indiana receiving a request for records shall send the records promptly to the requesting school. However, if a request is received for records to which a notice has been attached under IC 31-36-1-5 (or IC 31-6-13-6 before its repeal), the school:
(1) shall immediately notify the Indiana clearinghouse for information on missing children and missing endangered adults;
(2) may not send the school records without the authorization of the clearinghouse; and
(3) may not inform the requesting school that a notice under IC 31-36-1-5 (or IC 31-6-13-6 before its repeal) has been attached to the records.
(e) Notwithstanding subsection (d), if a parent of a child who has enrolled in an accredited nonpublic school is in breach of a contract that conditions release of student records on the payment of outstanding tuition and other fees, the accredited nonpublic school shall provide a requesting school sufficient verbal information to permit the requesting school to make an appropriate placement decision regarding the child.
