This shall serve as notice that Special Education hard-copy records are generally only maintained for a three year to four year period. Outdated records are offered to parents prior to destruction. For those who have graduated/received certification of completion or discontinued, records are destroyed three years after date of scheduled graduation/completion. If students transfer to another district, Saddleback Valley Unified School District forwards Special Education records to the new school and does not maintain copies. Electronic data-base records may be kept beyond this time period. At the end of 2020/2021 school year, all Special Education records with graduation/completion date prior to 2017 will be destroyed.
