IL HB3254

Amends the Illinois School Student Records Act to require schools to give reasonable prior notice to a student (in addition to parents) before destroying student records if the student's rights have been transferred from the parent.

Specifies three acceptable methods for providing notice: inclusion in the school's student handbook, publication in a newspaper of general circulation within the school district, or U.S. mail to the last known address of the parent or student.

Removes the requirement that notice be delivered specifically "at his or her last known address" and instead allows schools flexibility in notice delivery methods under State Board rules.

Maintains existing requirements that schools maintain permanent records for at least 60 years and temporary records for at least 5 years after a student transfers, graduates, or withdraws.
