Public Notice of Destruction of Records

The Department of Special Education of Oconee County Schools announces its intention to destroy
specific data. Records will be destroyed that were collected, maintained, or used in the provision of a free
appropriate public education for disabled students in Oconee County Schools.
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, 1999, through December 31, 1999, 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 Wednesday, February 1, 2023, 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 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).
