Special Education Records Retention

In accordance with state law, six years or more after a student withdraws from the Burlington-Edison School District or exits from special education services, a portion of the student's records is archived and then all of the special education records for that student are destroyed. The records are unique to special education services. The records do not include school transcripts, attendance records or immunization records. If you or your child is or has ever been qualified for special education, it is very important for you to ensure that you have your child's special education records, even after graduation. If you have any questions about obtaining special education records, or would like a copy of your records, please call the Special Services office at 360-757-3311 ext 1012 or Fax 360-757-9709.
