In compliance with state and federal regulations under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the Union County Public School District has announced plans to destroy certain special education records. This action pertains to personally identifiable information related to special education services.
Individuals who wish to retain these records for personal use must notify the district before July 1, 2025, when the destruction process will commence. The records slated for destruction include Individualized Education Programs/Plans (IEPs), Evaluation Reports, Test Protocols (available for inspection only), Notifications of Meetings, Conference Summaries of ARC meetings, Review of Existing Data Summaries, and all other personally identifiable information within the special education file.
The district explained that these documents are no longer necessary for providing educational services or have been inactive for more than three years since an individual last received special education services from the district. However, a permanent record containing basic student information such as name, address, phone number, grades, attendance record, classes attended, and grade level completed may be maintained indefinitely.
For further details or inquiries regarding this process, individuals can contact the Special Education records office at Union County Public Schools by calling 270-389-2742.
