Southington Schools To Destroy Special Ed Records

SOUTHINGTON, CT — School officials announced recently they're preparing to destroy special education records on file for some students, giving folks until April 14 to pick them up.

According to the Southington Public Schools' Department of Pupil Services, the records are for students who graduated from the Southington School System between 2013 and 2017.

School officials said students or parents may need those records for Social Security benefits and other purposes.

As a result, they should make an appointment with the school system prior to April 14.

Records can be picked up at the Southington Pupil Personnel Services Office at the board of education, which is located at 200 N. Main St., Southington, Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"Because of confidentiality, records will not be released to anyone other than the student unless a signed consent for release of records form is provided," wrote the school system in an announcement.

Those intested in obtaining files, need to call the special education office at 860-628-3200, ext. 10210 no later than April 14.
