The California Education Code § 56504 ensures parents the right and opportunity to examine all school records of his or her child and to receive copies of these records within five business days after making a request either orally or in writing.

The Los Angeles Unified School District has established a Custodian of Records to receive requests for records and to ensure these records are copied and provided to the individual making the request.

When parents of students with or suspected of having a disability make a records request at a school site, they should be given Attachment A1 (English) or Attachment A2 (Spanish) of Bulletin 5526.6: “Procedures for Requests for Educationally Related Records of Students with or Suspected of Having Disabilities." This Bulletin provides the procedures for submitting the request. Questions may be referred to the Call Center, Special Education Service Center, Operations, (213) 241-6701. The individual calling should ask the Call Center Technician to be transferred to the Custodian of Records.
