What does an actual, physical school "permanent record" look like?

Does it look like Kurtz's dossier from Apocalypse Now? Do principals and assistant principals and guidance counselors review them before graduation and be like...

A bunch of shite no one cares about

Good excuse for wasting more taxpayer money on administrators though

The school board announced a few years ago they were shredding a bunch of records and you could pick yours up if you wanted to, so I did. It was pretty incomplete. It had my HS transcript, the results of an IQ test I apparently took at one time. some samples of my work from elementary school. That's about it. Nothing disciplinary or behavioral.

I doubt if it didn't result in a suspension it would end up in the file.

The key indicators you were tested for gifted class. Elementary school teachers have to initiate the process by saving samples of school work to show that a particular student "has promise."

Edit: Usually, it has to include some sort of artistic work to show you are high-achieving in terms of "creative" intelligence.

I thought everyone knew a “permanent record” is just boogeyman speak for something that doesn’t exist

You use it to scare 1st graders

By senior year many of the class should be focusing on voting down the next school levy as a frick you to the teachers on the way out to a school that doesn't even look at their notes.

I was accepted to LSU my Jr. year. I was suspended twice and missed so much school my Sr. year, I graduated by half a day according to parish rules at the time. My file was supposedly bad.

It did absolutely nothing to hurt me.

There are two forms of records—the cumulative file, which contains test scores, grades and other info throughout your 12 years of school, and then there’s the permanent record card, which is stickered up with 12 years of only grades—essentially your transcript. The cumulative file is destroyed after 5 years and the PR card is on file forever. You have to do something really grand like get expelled to have discipline recorded in the cumulative file, but it ends up destroyed anyway. That PR card/transcript has no record of discipline recorded on it. So the only thing that really exists on record 5 years after graduation is your credited courses/grades, and if you graduated.

I would actually go back and read what all of those teachers wrote aboot me. Of course, they are all dead now. Some of them cooked burgers for the guys loading the dirt on the earth.

The only permanent record of any import is the one held by the NCIC.

Suspensions don’t even go in there. I got suspended from school one time and I asked and they said they it doesn’t go in there.

Suspended from school before check in thread.

Before the digital age, it was a Manila folder in a filing cabinet.

Now it is just a bunch of 101010110001110011010110101110011001110011001100110011000011001100’s stored on the school district’s central computer.

Even some the old data has been transferred to digital.

It actually does not exist beyond your transcript in most school systems. I had to pull mine for a deep background check a few years ago and literally all they had was my transcript.

It could be different now since computers (I’m old) are able to store more information. It might also vary from system to system. However, my school system was pretty much able to say that I went to school there and I graduated. That’s it.

Man I was in those classes and I've seen my work, maybe they just needed a few extra fun guys to fill out the roster. My early art was just pictures of riding lawnmowers and forklifts because I wanted to drive them. I had an obsession with driving from an early age.

Now I'll do anything to avoid driving more than ~3 hours. Fly, train, ride, whatever.
