DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS

The DeQueen Mena Educational Cooperative Early Childhood Program which serves Polk, Montgomery, Sevier, Little River, and Howard counties, announces that it will be destroying all special education due process forms and records of children who were dismissed, transitioned, dropped from the program or found to be eligible for preschool special education or speech therapy services prior to or during the 2015-2016 school terms, according to state and federal guidelines.

Parents have the right to review and request copies of those records before they are destroyed.  The records will be available for viewing through October 28, 2022 at the DeQueen Mena Educational Cooperative in Gillham, AR.  They will be destroyed on November 1, 2022.   If you wish to view your child’s records please call the Early Childhhod Coordinator at 479-385-4319 to schedule an appointment.

THESE RECORDS ARE NOT YOUR CHILD’S PERMANENT SCHOOL RECORDS.  THEY ARE SPECIAL EDUCATION DUE PROCESS FORMS AND RECORDS.
