Response Notes

Responsive to this request, HCPSS Policy 3050 – Records Management: https://www.hcpss.org/policies/3000/3050-records-management/ addresses maintenance, retention and disposition of all HCPSS records. A specific schedule for Board communication on personal devices does not exist. Please note, the policy does not dictate how long an employee must keep certain formats of a record, but rather the content of records dictates their status as active, transitory, temporary, vital, permanent, etc.
