Contents of Student Records

The Maryland State Department of Education specifies certain information which must be kept as part of a student's educational record in his/her Cumulative Folder. The Cumulative Folder may also contain grades, shot records and other educational information.

Limited Access Folders (LAF's) exist for some students. LAF's contain sensitive or confidential information.

A Descriptive Listing of all school system forms which may be a part of a student's record is available at each school for public review.
