Subject: [RMS-NORTH] School Records
Does anyone out there know of any official guidance, best or common
practices on closure of school records. Is it possible to apply a
blanket closure? I suspect not as we are currently considering requests
for disclosure on a case by case basis. Any help or directions
gratefully accepted.
