Text

(a) In the event that official education records cannot be
released to the parents for the purpose of transfer, the
custodian of the records in the sending state shall prepare and
furnish to the parent a complete set of unofficial educational
records containing uniform information as determined by the
interstate commission to the extent feasible. Upon receipt of
the unofficial education records by a school in the receiving
state, the school shall enroll and appropriately place the
student based on the information provided in the unofficial
records pending validation by the official records, as quickly
as possible.
(b) Simultaneous with the enrollment and conditional
placement of the student, the school in the receiving state
shall request the student's official education record from the
school in the sending state. Upon receipt of this request, the
school in the sending state will process and furnish the
official education records to the school in the receiving state
within ten (10) days or within such time as is reasonably
determined under the rules promulgated by the interstate
commission.
(c) Compacting states shall give thirty (30) days from the
date of entry, for students to obtain and provide proof of any
immunization required by the receiving state. For a series of
immunizations, initial vaccinations shall be obtained within
thirty (30) days and the child shall be permitted to attend
school while receiving continuing immunization if the school
administrator receives notification or a waiver is granted in
accordance with W.S. 21-4-309.
(d) Students shall be allowed to continue their enrollment
at grade level in the receiving state commensurate with their
grade level, including kindergarten, from a local education
agency in the sending state at the time of transition with the
exception of children that have not yet met the age requirements
as required by W.S. 21-4-301 and 21-4-302. A student that has
satisfactorily completed the prerequisite grade level in the
local education agency in the sending state shall be eligible
for enrollment in the next highest grade level in the receiving
state. A student transferring after the start of the school
year in the receiving state shall enter the school in the
receiving state on their validated level from an accredited
school in the sending state except where the child has not yet
obtained the age as required by W.S. 21-4-301 and 21-4-302 for
kindergarten and first grade.
