Last week, the PA House Children and Youth Committee approved HB 835, which would authorize Children and Youth Services (CYS) caseworkers to request and gain access to all of a student’s records as part of an investigation concerning that student. This would include school records, medical records, records of mental health treatment, and records of D&A treatment. Neither the consent of a parent/guardian nor any other release would be required to obtain the student records being requested by the county CYS agency.
