Student Records Request
When a charter school closes, the charter school notifies the Board of who will be maintaining the school’s student records and provides the Board with contact information. In some cases, the closed charter school’s student records are maintained by the Board, the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records – Archives and History Division (“State Archives”), or a designated contact from the charter holder.
The location of a closed charter school’s student records and the entity responsible for fulfilling the request can be found here:
