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

If you transfer highschools, you’re lucky to get your credits to move with you correctly, your disciplinary record certainly won’t make it lol.
My high school had a “senior checkout” day when I graduated. They let us have the file the district kept on us when as we progressed through school. Mine had old grade cards from kindergarten, counselor comments, and awards + recognition I had earned throughout my younger years.
It was actually kind of touching to see how things had evolved over my educational journey.
1 job threatened to put me on a Performance Plan and it would show on my record. My failed drug test is on another. In reality, they dont matter and cant be communicated from ine group to another
It took me years to figure out that me and my sister throwing berries into the neighbor’s swimming pool wasn’t going to be a blight on a permanent record somewhere.
Everytime I hear of a “Permanent Record”, it always reminds me of that Nickelodeon show, “Doug”.
The principal in that show was ALWAYS threatening to punish Doug by putting shit on his permanent record.

if you are currently in school, and you commit a crime on campus, or you are a suspect for a serious crime off campus, law enforcement might request your record from your school if it is an active investigation or if they are determining the level of charges to bring against you. this is the only thing i can think of that would make someone’s school record relevant. and that would only be if you are still in school.
once you’re an adult, it means absolutely nothing.
When I graduated highschool, I was given my “permanent record”, as that was the norm in my school district. It consisted of handwriting samples from elementary school, copies of grades and report cards, and some random crap from art class. Super important stuff right there. I had been disciplined a few times, detention once or twice for being tardy or sassy to a teacher. Nothing like that was shown.
When I applied to universities, nobody requested my permanent record. Why? Because it’s a fake thing schools use as leverage to frighten students into obedience, at least the ones that are future looking, anyway.
There are two ways to interpret the question: if it is just what your school puts on the school record, it’ll live with you until you are out of school, if that long. Criminal records where the police are involved can be permanent. If you aren’t tried as an adult, much of your juvenile record can be expunged when you hit 18, meaning say, an employer can’t see it. People in the legal system, cops and the like, still can in certain cases though.
