The Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) has scheduled the destruction of certain special education records for Feb. 28. Records to be destroyed pertain to special education State Written Complaints, mediations, and due process hearing requests filed between Jan, 1, 2015, and Dec. 31, 2015.

If you are the parent of a child (or a student aged 19 or older, or a former student aged 19 or older) involved in a special education State Written Complaint, mediation, or due process hearing request, with records maintained at the ALSDE during this timeframe, you may request the State Written Complaint, mediation, or due process hearing request records pertaining to your child (or yourself), by mailing or faxing a signed written authorization to release the records to:
