The Special Education Department of Newton County School System will destroy records that have been collected, maintained, and/or used in providing special education services. This activity is in compliance with federal, state, and local policy. The destruction of data policy provides that records may be destroyed when they are no longer needed for educational planning purposes.

This destruction policy only applies to: 
STUDENTS RECEIVING SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES
BORN JULY 1, 2002 – DECEMBER 31, 2002


TO OBTAIN THESE EDUCATIONAL RECORDS REQUESTS FOR RECORDS MUST BE MADE PRIOR TO JANUARY 17, 2025.

Contact the Office of Special Education at Newton County Schools Board of Education, 2109 Newton Dr. N.E. Covington, GA 30014 or by phone: (770)787-1330, Ext. 1221.

Records will be provided only to a former student who is 18 years of age or older or the legal guardian. We will notify the individual by phone when the requested records are prepared. The records should be picked up at the Board of Education. Anyone obtaining records will be required to produce identification that contains both picture and signature.
