How exactly do “permanent records” work? Do they actually exist, especially beyond school?

Once you graduate, your “permanent record” is re-titled. It’s now called your “credit report.”
And it’s not permanent. Just 7 years.
Permanent records are stored in a school for two years post graduation and then shipped to the board where they’re stored forever. The only people who have access to these records are you (upon request) and the police (if they have a warrant). They’re largely not things of consequence. The only documents from here anyone has access to are ones you consent to giving (and if police have a warrant).
The creepier permanent records are the ones you don’t even know you have. Corporations track all sorts of information on you throughout your life. Like when I volunteered to by a minor league hockey assistant coach…. they had my record of playing hockey, every single game… every single goal… what positions I played… what numbers I had…. what penalties I had.

I was at a high school dance and they caught me and my friends mooning people on video.
The principle announced that they would send it to the FBI for identification.
My heart still skips a beat when there is a knock at the door.
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.
Permanent records include criminal records (even just an arrest sticks around) credit reports (though not permanent, certainly long-lasting and frequently checked by employers and landlords) and social media history. That’s right kids, those racist/sexist/edgy jokes you posted on MySpace back in 2002 could cost you a job tomorrow. Arguing with a stranger on the internet today could cost you everything in 2045.
