Help tracking down my Permanent School Records California/Oregon

Post date: 2022-06-23 03:34:24

I started school in California, moved after middle school for 3 years to Oregon in High School, then finished at a small private high school in California (OC) The last high school is being cagey about my Full Permanent Record. What should they have, have kept etc.? Help!?

After my mom died my dad threw all my childhood things away. I live in Europe now and am trying to register my children's birth abroad. I would like to have this complete record to show residence and from what I can tell, this school SHOULD have my complete records (the mandatory parts) indefinitely unless put to microfilm. I emailed my official request with passport picture and they didn't answer, I followed up a week later and said they could only have records from people who graduated there (soooooo, hadn't read my email) I reiterated AGAIN I wanted my complete records from elementry, middle school and high school, my reason why and submitted another formal request. This morning she just sent an email with my high school transcript that said "here you go".... sooooo I have been reading about this and it seems like there are statutory requirements that this should have been kept and I can imagine many reasons people would need them as historical evidence for many things... where you lived, who your teachers were, if your grades suddenly changed, if you were up to date with vaccinations as a child... and there are lots of reasons people would not have these (like forest fires and mean dads who throw stuff in the trash) and anyway, I would like them. Can anyone point me to the actual sources that have the statutory guidance? I have found a pdf with lines of guidance with statutes printed next to them but nothing else... I am going to try Oregon just in case they didn't send everything over... but this behavior seems a little crappy. Is there a way to escalate this? Or other ideas to actually find them? Anyone who knows more about this and can educate me?
