How exactly do “permanent records” work? Do they actually exist, especially beyond school?
In: 593
Public school records will start going through a winnowing process once you graduate. Beginning one year after graduation and for the next seven, information is slowly purged. After 5 to 7 years the only information that is “permanent” are records of extracurricular activities (if any), degrees and awards, report cards, and high school transcripts. Some information such as special education records can be maintained, but only if the graduating student requests it. Basically by the time you’re 25, all that still exists is proof you went to school, proof you graduated, and maybe a list of classes you took in high school.
