How exactly do “permanent records” work? Do they actually exist, especially beyond school?
In: 593
School “permanent records” only exist within that school system. If you transfer to another school, they’re gonna get your transcript and that’s it. Usually it. in theory they could get your disciplinary record but it’s hit or miss if that will happen. When you graduate and go to college or get hired, they’re gonna want to know you graduated and maybe get proof of your GPA/grades if you offered that info in the application. that’s it. No disciplinary history. Employers also, as a rule, don’t share personal history or records of employees with each other. They certainly don’t transfer records.
The only thing that is close to a “permanent record” is if you are convicted of or plea guilty to a crime and law enforcement retains that, but even in that context many states have laws on how long that information can be used and there are ways to get it expunged if you are good beyond that.
