 +**Policy EHB-R\\
 +Records Retention Schedule\\
 +School Board Approved: December 16, 2010**
 +
 +**Procedure for General Records**\\
 +  - Check the retention schedule before disposing of documents/​records. If the document/​record is not listed, consult with the Business Office before disposing of the document/​record. If necessary the New Hampshire Department of Education, other appropriate agency, or legal counsel will be contacted for guidance. ​
 +  - Records, including electronic files, will be maintained in accordance with the retention schedule. ​
 +  - Records whose retention has expired will be properly destroyed by secured shredding or incineration. ​
 +  - Only one copy of a document needs to be retained, by the party responsible for it. If available the original document should be retained. ​
 +  - Drafts and notes can be destroyed except when such documents are important to official business or action of the district, in which case they will be stored in the official file. 
 +  - Except as noted in the retention schedule, the retention period runs from when the record was created or received. ​
 +  - No record relating to pending or anticipated litigation may be destroyed or altered even if the record is technically past its retention date. 
 +  - Any e-mail message that would be saved if it had been transmitted in paper form should be printed and retained in accordance with the retention schedule. All e-mails (after those that should be retained and printed in hard copy) and are considered “Correspondence for Business” and will be automatically deleted by the system after four (4) years. ​
 +  - Junk mail and “spam” are not considered records and can be discarded immediately. ​
 +  - State law requires schools to transfer records when a student enrolls in another school in the state. A copy of the records that were forwarded to the new school will be retained in accordance with the retention schedule. ​
