JCPS Extended Retention Memorandum

A local appendix to the public schools retention schedule identifying a few series retained for an additional brief period.  

After finding the series identification in the schedule, consult this to see the extended retention period. Check for the series numbers you identified for the records you are reviewing. Maintain records identified here according to this retention period.

Email Retention at JCPS

We all use email as part of the JCPS team. The email messages we send and receive are public records and need to be kept for a certain period of time. This document provides brief guidance on how long to retain email messages.

Any documentation requesting the schedule date should be completed with the information June 2015.
