A meeting was held in May with several school districts, an attorney, the Government Records Ombudsman, and record analysts. The first draft was reviewed and edited. The updated draft has been sent to the Appointed Record Officers of every school district in Utah for their input.

The following general retention schedules will be presented to the State Records Committee at their next meeting on August 8^th. So it begins! I am excited to present the Student General Schedule for your input. There are 28 general schedules that will fall into these eight new schedules.
