Mary, I don't know about all states or even all schools in New Mexico and Texas, but the schools where I taught as well as where my sons went to school (1970s-2000) and where I went to school (1950s-1964) had records with a lot of genographical information. When a student started to school or a new school, records began with the full name of the student, the names of his parents, his birth date/place, other places he went to school (if applicable), and shot records as well as address/phone # of parents. Other things kept in the records were health information, testing results, any problems with "character", learning, and so on, as well as other confidential information and grades for each semester. I don't know that all the information could be released to just anyone, but I don't think there should be much problem in asking for the basic genealogical information. I was surprised to read on another message that school records were transcribed (to be put online??) and am wondering if the health, conduct, grades and other confidential information was included in these transcriptions.
