E. Transfer of Student Records
As required by Maine law, MSAD #60 sends student education records to a school unit to which a student applies for transfer, including disciplinary records, attendance records, special education records and health records (except for confidential health records for which consent for dissemination has not been obtained).
F. The Board hereby designates its School Resource Officers (or Local Police Departments) as MSAD 60’s law enforcement unit.
