Public Records Requests

The Florida Department of Education does not maintain student records. Those records are kept in the school district where the student last attended. Student records are not considered ‘public’. You may be required to provide identification and a signed release.

At any time, an individual has the right to inspect and/or copy public records. Please refer to Chapter 119 in the Florida Statutes for additional information on fees associated with public records requests. For information about obtaining public records, please call 850-245-9759 or send an email to PRR@fldoe.org.

"Public records" refer to county, state or federal materials that are typically viewable by the public.

If you are in need of a transcript from a private high school that has closed, please note; private schools that become defunct are required to transfer all permanent information included in student records to the public school district.

The Commission for Independent Education maintains records for some independent postsecondary educational institutions that have closed. Institutions that are still currently open are required to maintain and service transcript requests.
