Records Management
Calculating Eligibility Dates
Lets say that the ending date for a specific records series is 7/31/1997. When can these records be destroyed?
| Retention Period | Date to start counting | Add # of years | Date eligible for destruction |
| 3 years | 7/31/1997 | + 3 | = 7/31/2000 |
| fiscal years | 10/1/1997 | + 3 | = 10/1/2000 |
| 3 fiscal years (school district) | 6/30/1998 | + 3 | = 7/1/2001 |
| 3 calendar years | 12/31/1997 | + 3 | = 1/1/2001 |
