For the purpose of providing notice to public and private school officials, both within and outside the boundaries of the state, of the expulsion of any public school student, the State Department of Education may develop a central reporting system for maintaining information concerning each expulsion from a public school. In establishing and maintaining the reporting system, the department may require each school district and charter school to report, within a certain period of time after an expulsion, as established by the department, information such as the following:
(a) The name of the student expelled;
(b) The date the student was expelled;
(c) The age of the student at the time of the expulsion;
(d) The school from which the student was expelled;
(e) The reason for the expulsion, including a detailed description of the student's act or acts;
(f) The duration of the period of expulsion, if not indefinite; and
(g) Any other information that the department deems necessary for school officials in a public or private school, where a student is seeking enrollment, to determine whether or not a student should be denied enrollment based upon a previous expulsion.
Any information maintained by the department under the authority of this section shall be strictly confidential. The information shall be available to school officials at a public or private school only upon their request and only when a student seeks enrollment or admission to that school. In no case shall the information be available to the general public; however, aggregate reporting by the department which does not disclose any personally identifiable information is permitted.
