In the event that official educational records cannot be released to the parents for the purpose of transfer from a local education agency in a sending state to a school division, the custodian of the records in the sending state may prepare and furnish to the parent a complete set of unofficial educational records. Upon receipt of the unofficial educational records by a school in a school division, such school shall enroll and appropriately place the student based on the information provided in the unofficial records pending validation by the official records, as quickly as possible.
