How long must a North Carolina non-public school retain its student academic records?
North Carolina non-public school laws do not speak to this question except to require that the nationally standardized test result records for students enrolled in grades 3, 6, 9 and 11 be retained at the school office for one calendar year. Therefore, each North Carolina non-public school chief administrator develops his/her own policies on the retaining of other student records. Most North Carolina non-public school student academic records for grade K-8 levels are usually disposed of sometime after the student has successfully graduated from high school. Academic records for grade 9-12 students who have graduated from the school are kept indefinitely. Originals of academic records for K-8 students transferring to another local conventional school are usually hand-delivered to them by a school staff member and signed for by a school official at the conventional school accepting them.
