Notice of Destruction of Special
Education Records 2013 

Special
Education records which have been collected by the Sharon Public Schools
related to the identification, evaluation, educational placement, or the
provision of Special Education in the district, must be maintained under state
and federal laws for a period of seven years after Special Education services
have ended for the student.  Special
Education services end when the student no longer is eligible for services,
graduates, moves from the district, or completes his or her educational program
at age 22.

This
notification is to inform parents/guardians and former students of the Sharon
Public Schools’ intent to destroy the Special Education records of students who
were no longer receiving Special Education services as of the end of the
2005-2006 school year.  These records
will be destroyed in accordance with state law unless the parent/guardian or
eligible (adult) student notifies the school district otherwise.

After
seven years, the records are no longer useful to the district, but they may be
useful to the parent/guardian or former student in applying for Social Security
benefits, rehabilitation services, college entrance, etc.  The parent/guardian or eligible (adult)
student may request a copy of the records in writing or in person at the
following address:

Sharon Public School

District Administration

Office of Student Services

75 Mountain Street

Sharon, MA 02067
