WITH REGARD TO DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS, PLEASE NOTE
DO NOT DESTROY IF:
If the retention period for a record has expired, the District will not destroy certain documents as shown below. Pursuant to Section 202.002 of the Local Government Code, the District shall not destroy any record, including electronic records, if:
- the subject matter of the record is known by the custodian to be in litigation or anticipated litigation;
- the record is subject to a pending request for disclosure under the Public Information Act;
- there is an outstanding request to inspect and review the record under FERPA;
- the record is subject to a pending audit by a federal or state grantor or subgrantor agency; or
- a question remains unresolved from a conducted audit until audit finds are resolved.
THERE CAN BE A LITIGATION HOLD:
When an event giving rise to a potential claim occurs, appropriate records, including electronic records, will be subject to a litigation hold designed to prevent their routine destruction.
A school district has an obligation to preserve documents and evidence related to an event once a lawsuit is filed and sometimes even when litigation is only anticipated.
