Virginia Law and Rockingham County School Board Policy provide for the destruction of portions of student scholastic records (both cumulative and confidential) when they are no longer educationally useful for seven (7) years after the student graduates from secondary school, completes a program adopted by the Board of Education, or leaves school. Complete records will continue to be kept for all students currently in school. This notice announces the intention of Rockingham County Public Schools to destroy portions of student scholastic records (both cumulative and confidential) for students in the categories listed above. With proof of identity, eligible students, parents, or guardians have the right to be provided a copy of any records being destroyed. Scholastic records may be needed by the student or the parents for social security benefits or other purposes.
If copies are needed, please contact Rockingham County Public Schools' Pupil Personnel Services: Chris Bryant at (540) 564-3246 or Terry Shifflett at (540) 564-3225.
