Archiving Regulations
According to the new federal rulings passed by the Supreme Court on December 1, 2006, school districts are required to archive all electronically stored information, including email, which could be considered evidence in the event of a lawsuit. All electronically stored information will be subject to legal discovery during a lawsuit and failure to produce these records would put your district in violation of the state and federal open records laws.
Here are some useful citations:
The 'School Dept' file shows that all Admin correspondence must be kept for a minimum of 3 years; some other types of documents (like those related to federally-funded grants) may require longer timelines.
