Destruction Of Special Education Records 

The Rabun County School System, Department of Student Services, announces the intent to destroy specific Special Education records.  Records will be destroyed that were collected, maintained or used in providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for students with disabilities within the Rabun County School System. This notice is in compliance with the system's comprehensive plan for special education as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the State of Georgia statutes governing records retention.

Special Education records for students, who were born on January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2001, are no longer needed for educational purposes.  Records include Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), Evaluation Reports, Test Protocols, Notification of Meetings, Notices of Action, Review of Existing Data Summaries, and all other personally identifiable information within the Special Education file.

If a former student or legal guardian would like to obtain the Special Education records prior to destruction, please contact the Rabun County Board of Education Student Services department at 706-212-4350 by November 30, 2025.  Identification verification will be required.

The Rabun County School System plans to destroy the above referenced Special Education Records after November 30, 2025.
