• Records Management

    The Records Management Department actively supports, promotes, and continues the development of policies and procedures of the records management program for the Plano Independent School District - from the creation of the records to the final disposition of the records - pursuant to the Local Government Records Act of 1989, Texas State Library and Archives Commission.

     Requesting a Transcript or Records

    Access to student records will be granted according to the Federal Educational Rights to Privacy Act (FERPA) and Plano ISD policies FL (Legal) and FL (Local) for student records.

    Once a graduate has turned 18 years of age or is in a post-secondary setting, the parent may not request records of any kind. The Federal Law will allow us to accept a parent's signature in lieu of the student only when that parent brings in the most current 1040 tax form showing that the student is still a dependent for tax purposes.

    • NOTE - Diplomas are considered ceremonial documents, not a district record. The high school transcript, academic achievement record (AAR), is the official record of achievement and graduation.  If you need an actual diploma for framing, you will need to contact the office manager at the senior high school you graduated from, and they will put you in touch with the company that produces the ceremonial certificates and class rings.  (This process can take longer than 4 weeks.)
