According to the state and federal regulations, special education files must be destroyed six years after a student leaves any special education program. This includes speech therapy and any and all special education placements in the Scranton School District.
Records for special education students who moved away, graduated, or were dismissed from special education programs prior to July 1, 2019, will be destroyed at Scranton School District. These are not permanent school records or transcripts. They are only special education due process forms and records.
Parents and former students 18 and over have the right to review and request these records before they are destroyed. Those who wish to see records dated through July 1, 2019, may do so before September 30, 2025, between the hours of 8:30 and 2:30 p.m. in the Superintendent’s office. If you have any questions, please contact Candy Harris, SPED Supervisor in the Superintendent’s office.
