In accordance with federal and state laws, special education records are maintained
for at least five years after the student exits the special education program,

records from 2016. If you exited during that year and are at least 18 years of age,
you may request your file.
In accordance with the Commonwealth of Virginia guidelines, special education
records that are not claimed by September 30, 2021, will be destroyed.
