Under RSA 186-C:10-3, upon a student's graduation from high school, his or her parents may request the local education agency, in writing, to have the student's records and final individualized education program destroyed at that time or request that the records be retained until the student's twenty-sixth birthday. The parents may, at any time prior to the student's twenty-sixth birthday, request, in writing, that the records be retained until the student's thirtieth birthday.
Absent any request by a student's parents at the time of graduation, the local education agency shall destroy a student's records and final individualized education program within a reasonable time after the student's twenty-sixth birthday, provided that all such records be destroyed by the student's thirtieth birthday.
The district shall provide a parent or adult student a written notice of its document destruction policies upon the student’s graduation with a regular diploma or at the transfer of rights whichever occurs first.
