Special education records are securely maintained for 6 years after a student graduates or leaves the district. After that time, they are destroyed in a confidential manner. The Hot Springs School District will destroy confidential special education records for the 2019-2020 school year. Records are available to the student or parent (if the student is under 18) by request. Please call 501-623-7421 or email hughesk@hssd.net to make arrangements to pick up the files by July 17, 2026. These records are not permanent school records containing grades and grade levels, as those will be maintained by the district.
