This summer Lambert Public School will destroy special education/speech-language therapy records of former students who have been out of school for at least five years. Former students may contact the school office at 406-774-3333 within sixty days of this notice if they wish to review the files or obtain copies of the information contained in them. The information to be destroyed shall NOT include data collected on a routine basis that is maintained on all school children (such as the student’s name, address, telephone number, grade level completed and year completed.) The data to be destroyed shall include information collected for identification, location, evaluation, and other items directly related to special education services which the student had received. Parents of a student still in school whose child has not received special education services for at least five years have the right to inspect the special education records and obtain copies of the information contained in those records before they are destroyed. Persons having questions about this process or those persons wishing to request that records be destroyed may contact the school office at the number listed above.
