According to notices published by the school system, records associated with former students born in 2001 or who were part of the Class of 2019 are scheduled for destruction on July 1, 2026.
The records include those maintained by the school system’s Special Education Department, Student Support Services Department, and Gifted Program.
Former students or their guardians who wish to obtain copies of eligible records before they are destroyed must contact the appropriate department prior to July 1. Proper identification will be required before records are released.
