May a conventional North Carolina non-public school withhold student records, subject grades and transcripts for students whose financial account is delinquent?
Yes, provided the North Carolina non-public school does not participate in any federally-funded programs. The vast majority of North Carolina non-public schools do not participate in them. Student immunization records, however, must always be released when requested by the next conventional school which the student will be attending. The withholding of student academic records, report cards, etc. by North Carolina non-public schools until a student’s financial account is paid in full is a long standing, perfectly legal and acceptable practice for non-public schools to utilize in collecting past-due accounts. Virtually all private colleges and also North Carolina non-public schools use this technique as a method of last resort. No one in state government has legal authority to deal with this type issue. Such a problem can only be resolved by the student’s parent/guardian and the North Carolina non-public school involved. North Carolina non-public school student enrollment contracts usua
