Look - I'm really not trying to get anyone's dander up.  I had conceptualized this as each charter school being a separate school system, with the PCSB being some kind of umbrella, not really over each of the schools to bind them together as a unit authorizing sharing between its different parts.

I'm not going to go chasing HIPAA stuff.  Just noticed the one thing there about FERPA.  You feel comfortable that all public charter schools are one entity within its terms, I'm happy to go with that.  I just didn't come to this question thinking that was the case.[/quote]

Charters are their own "school system" or LEA. HOWEVER, if you read FERPA, if a child has enrolled elsewhere, the other school is legally allowed to share student records with the school that the child enrolled into regardless of parents providing permission. As an admin I can tell you that this system of sharing info is the exact same system that was used last year and the year before that, but simply with an earlier timeline of when schools upload all the students and the duplicates are identified and shared. Ultimately, I believe this will help schools and families so I see it as a great improvement. [/quote]
