School district plans to destroy some special education records

Ramona Unified School District intends to destroy the special education records of all students who were born in 1987. Any student who has reached the age of 18 may review and/or receive these records by contacting the district’s Pupil Services Office, 760-787-2039, and scheduling an appointment by Wednesday, July 18.

If no student, parent or guardian responds to this notice, the school district will assume consent to destroy the entire record specific to the student.

A permanent record of the student’s name, address, telephone number, grades, attendance record and year completed is maintained in perpetuity.

The purpose of the destruction is to protect the student from improper and unauthorized disclosure of the confidential information contained in the file.

“Please note that the student, parent or guardian for Social Security benefits or other purpose may need certain records,” according to a district statement.

Anyone who does not understand this notice or needs interpretation may contact the Pupil Services Office at the phone number listed.
