The Records Management (RM) Department provides records management services to FC schools and central offices throughout Fulton County School System, as well as to district stakeholders. The Department is comprised of two teams: The Student Records Team and The Business Records Team. The department provides advisory assistance and training to all employees on proper management, utilization, preservation, disposition, and retention of all records, regardless of format.
The multitude of services that RM provides to schools and administrative departments are reflected in approximately 35,000 new student records being added to the database each year. RM processes approximately 3,500 graduate student records, 20,000 withdrawn and promoted student records, and 1,500 Home Study records each year. In addition, RM processes approximately 3,500 records requests from stakeholders (graduates, employers, colleges/universities, etc.), 2,500 telephone verifications, and about 800 record subpoenas each year. RM also processes approximately 700 student records requests from within Fulton County Schools. RM adds about 1,500 boxes of records to the Records Center inventory each year, and destroys about 1,700 boxes of records each year that are eligible for destruction. Since the Business Records Team and Student Records Team united to form Records Management, RM has been scanning an average of 275,000 school documents (records) each year into its document management system.
The Records Management Department has taken on more of an enterprise approach to records management and provides a multitude of face-to-face training as well as online training and assessments as part of its overall training initiative. The ultimate goal of the department is total legal and regulatory compliance of records management across Fulton County School System.
