The Nebraska Department of Education Rule 51, Regulations and Standards for Education Programs, requires that school districts destroy all personally identifiable Special Education data maintained on students five years after the completion of the activities for which special education funds were used.
All Special Education records that have been maintained by Lawrence Nelson Public Schools for 5 years after they were no longer needed are now scheduled to be destroyed. Students with a graduation date of May 2020 will have their records destroyed on June 22, 2025.
Parents and/or students can contact the school office at (402) 225-3371 to arrange a time to pick up the files. If the school district has not been contacted by June 22, 2025, the school district assumes the right to shred all information of the individual contained in the Special Education file.
Sincerely,
Lauren Isaacson
Special Education Director
Lawrence Nelson Public Schools
