Old Special Education Records to be Destroyed
According to the state and federal regulations, special education files must be
destroyed six years after a student leaves any special education program. This
includes speech therapy and any and all special education placements in the
Lamar School District.
Records for special education students who moved away, graduated, or were
dismissed from special education programs prior to July 1, 2019, will be destroyed
at Lamar School District. These are not permanent school records or transcripts.
They are only special education due process forms and records.
Parents and former students 18 and over have the right to review and request
these records before they are destroyed. Those who wish to see records dated
through July 1, 2019, may do so before September 30, 2025, between the hours
of 8:30 and 2:30 p.m. in the Superintendent’s office. If you have any
questions, please contact Candy Harris, Sped Supervisor through the
Superintendent’s office.
