The notice shall be issued within a reasonable time, not to exceed forty-five (45) days after the District learns of the acquisition of the personal information. The notice shall indicate that the District knows of the unauthorized acquisition of personal information pertaining to the student.

If, as the result of a single incident, the District is required to notify 1,000 or more students, the District shall without unreasonable delay notify all consumer reporting agencies that compile and maintain files on consumers on a nationwide basis of the timing, distribution, and content of the notices sent to the students.

Upon written request from the student who has received a notice, the District shall identify the personal information that was acquired.
