Destruction of Special Education Records Notification:
In accordance with the state and federal regulations implementing the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), this is to inform people who may have records housed in the school district that it is our intent to destroy personally identifiable information related to special education services maintained in student records.
If you wish to maintain this information for your personal records, you will need to notify us; otherwise, the information will be destroyed beginning Jul 1, 2026.
Records to be destroyed are as follows:
Individualized Education Programs/Plans (IEPs)
Evaluation Reports
Test Protocols (Available for inspection only; no copy will be provided)
Notifications of Meetings
Conference Summaries of ARC meetings
Review of Existing Data Summaries
All other personally identifiable information within the special education file
Reasons for Destruction:
The reason for destruction of the above listed items is because they are no longer needed to provide educational services and/or it has been more than 3 years since the individual has received special education services provided by Fulton Independent School District.
*The district may maintain a permanent record, without time limitation, of a student’s name, address, phone number, his/her grades, attendance record, classes attended, and grade level completed.
The school is required to maintain records for a minimum of 3 years from the date the child no longer received special education and related services. After the three (3) years, all special education records will be destroyed.
You may contact Mr. Prophet Giles in the Special Education office for Fulton Independent School District at 270-472-1553 for more information.
