Notice of Destruction of Special Education Records 2020
Notice Date:October 20, 2020

Special education records collected by the Jarrell Independent School District (JISD) related to the identification, evaluation, educational placement, or the provision of special education services in the district, must be maintained under state and federal laws for a period of five (5) years after special education services have ended for the student. Special Education services end when the student is no longer eligible for services, graduates, completes his or her educational program at age 22, or moves from the district.

This notification is to inform parents/guardians and former students of JISD’s intent to destroy the Special Education records of students who are no longer receiving Special Education services as of the end of the 2014-2015 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 five years, the records are no longer used by JISD, but they may be useful to the parent/guardian or former student in applying for Social Security benefits, rehabilitation services, college entrance, etc.
