Notice is hereby given that the Alexander City Schools Exceptional Education Department intends to destroy special education records of former students who graduated, completed their school program, transferred, or withdrew from Alexander City Schools prior to the 2019-2020 school year. Any former student who has reached 18 years of age may review and/or receive a copy of these records by contacting the Exceptional Education Department by June 15, 2025. According to federal law, there is a transfer of parental rights to the student when a child with a disability reaches the age of majority under state law (Age 19). However, a parent of a child with a disability who is the age of majority may retain parental rights, provided that the child has been determined to be legally incompetent or legally incapacitated.

In accordance with federal and state laws, special education records are maintained for five years after the student exits the Exceptional Education program, graduates, transfers, or withdraws from Alexander City Schools. In accordance with the State of Alabama Special Education guidelines, exceptional education records that are not claimed by June 15, 2025, will be destroyed. A written request for records may be sent to Alison Todd, Exceptional Education Director, Alexander City Schools. Please include the student's name, birth date, date of graduation or date last attended on the request.

Please allow at least two weeks for the preparation of records, and be prepared to present a government-issued photo ID for the release of records.
