Carbon School District has announced its intent to destroy personally identifiable information related to special education services for specific former students. This action follows state and federal regulations implementing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
The records subject to destruction include special education records maintained in Carbon County School for students who graduated, completed, or aged out in 2019, 2020, or 2021.
According to the district, state regulations only require that records be maintained for three years from the date a child graduates, leaves the district, or ceases to receive special education and related services.
To obtain this information for personal records, interested parties must contact CSD Special Education at 435-613-3159 before July 30, 2026. After this date, the information will be destroyed.
The district noted that the student must be the one to request the records unless a parent holds guardianship.
Officials advised that these records might be necessary for students or parents regarding private, State, or Federal programs, including social security benefits or disability programs.
