Updating School District Payroll Schedule

Rebekkah Shaw General Retention Schedules, Records Management

School District schedule 14-20 is being overwritten by state schedule 10-30 and 10-31. If you go to the school district schedule on our website, it will be hyperlinked to the new schedule. Depending on the type of record will determine if retention is now two years shorter or two years longer. Don’t worry if you have already destroyed records per the old schedule. Please update your records so the updated retention will be followed from this point going forward. If you wish to keep the previous retention for your record series, please contact your analyst.  Below is the old schedule, then the new one. If you have any questions, please call us at 801-531-3863.
