Student Records

Students who attend an independent or private institution in the Town of Brookline may request to receive Special Education Services through the Public Schools of Brookline without enrollment. However, they must provide proof of their active enrollment through student records such as transcripts and progress reports.

All students entering PSB for special education services must complete a Records Release Form.

The records required for registration depend on the grade that your student is entering. Each grade level and the corresponding required records are found below.

Please also present any records or documents relating to a student's Special Education services, Individualized Education Program (IEP), 504 Plan, or English Learner Education (ELE) records, if applicable.
