Public Notice of Destruction of Records

This notice is in compliance with the system’s comprehensive plan for special education required by P.L. 94-142.

Records on students who enrolled in a special education program for the disabled and whose birthdays are between January 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998 are no longer needed for education planning purposes. These records may be needed by the student or parent(s) for Social Security or other reasons. The system plans to destroy these records on Monday, January 31, 2022, unless there has been a request for a due process hearing, under P.L. 94-142 or a complaint filed with the Office of Civil Rights, under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

If you, as the student or parent(s) of the student, desire copies of these records prior to destruction, contact the Department of Special Education at 706.769.5130, ext. 1214. You will be required to produce identification or provide verification data.

 

 

The GSNS Program is a parental choice program for special needs children attending Georgia public schools who are served under an IEP. More Information about the GSNS Program can be found here.

The Oconee County Department of Special Education provides services to students ages 3-21 who are eligible for special education and related services. All students with disabilities have the right to receive a free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment, with their non-disabled peers, as appropriate. The type and degree of services provided are determined through the development of an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
