How long are Government Schools required to keep EMA Applications?
Government schools are governed by the Public Records Act 1973. The General Retention and Disposal Authority for Records of Common Administrative Functions (PROS 07/01) provides information for the destruction of public records and prevents the premature destruction of records which need to be retained to satisfy legal, financial and other requirements of public administration. EMA records are treated as financial records that detail the receipt and expenditure of public monies. Based on Class 5.1.1 of the Authority, government schools are required to keep EMA records for 7 years.
