The Mountain Home Public School District is planning to destroy all outdated special education records from prior to June 2013.
The records of students enrolled in special education are maintained for six years, following graduation, dropping out or moving to another district. According to state and federal guidelines, these records should be disposed of six years after a student no longer receives special education services or records are no longer needed to provide services.
Those 18 or older who received service from special education programs or parents/guardians of those students have the right to review or request records before they are destroyed. The records are available for pickup at the Mountain Home Special Education Office at 1001 South Main, from 8 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Otherwise, the records will be destroyed on Aug. 5.
Any questions or concerns may be addressed to Gwen Benton or Jill Czanstkowski at (870)425-1247.
