Notice of Destruction of Special Programs Records
This notification is to inform parents/guardians/adult students of the intent to destroy Special Education records which have been collected by Gatesville Independent School District; related to the identification, evaluation, educational placement, or the provision of Special Programs in the district. This information includes referral data, notice/consent documents, assessment reports with supporting data, ARD committee deliberations, and IEP documents.
Records must be maintained for 5 years under state and federal laws. After five years of cessation of services they can be destroyed. Cessation of services results when a student graduates, is dismissed from Special Education Services, moves out of district, drops out of school, or completes the educational program by aging out at 22.
Records that will be destroyed are for Special Education students whose services ceased in the 2019-2020 school year.
Parents/guardians of these students or the adult student (aged 18 or over) may contact the Special Programs Department by phone, email or by sending in a written request to Gatesville Independent School District Attention: Special Programs before Dec. 1, 2025, should they wish to obtain the record being destroyed.
