Electronic Records Management

Schools increasingly maintain records electronically and should establish clear digital records management procedures.

Electronic Records Procedures Should Address:

  • Digital storage systems
  • File naming conventions
  • Backup procedures
  • Cloud storage security
  • Archiving procedures
  • Record retention timelines
  • Secure destruction procedures

Electronic records should remain:

  • Accessible
  • Organized
  • Secure
  • Properly backed up
  • Consistent with permanent record expectations
