School districts are required to keep special education records five years past the student’s twenty-second birthday. In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Jordan School District must notify parents and afford them the opportunity to receive special education records before destruction of those records can occur.
As of January 31, 2023, such notice will have been advertised to parents for students whose birthdates are prior to September 1995 (i.e., students who are 27 years of age). Any records for students over the age of 22 will be stored off site until they are ready to be destroyed when the student turns 27 years of age.
Please see the attached memo for instructions for storage and destruction of Special Education Records.
