Dear V.I.T. Community Unit School District #2 Parent/Student:
Special Education records which have been collected by the V.I.T. School District related to the identification, evaluation, educational placement, or the provision of special education in the district, must be maintained for a period of five years after special education services have ended for the student. Special education services end when the student is no longer eligible for services, graduates, completes his/her educational program at age 22, or moves out of the district. After five years, the records are no longer useful to the district, but may be useful to the parent/guardian or former student in applying for social security benefits, rehabilitation services, college entrance, etc.
This notification is to inform parents/guardians and former students of V.I.T. School District's intent to destroy the special education records of students with birthdates in March 1991 to December 2000. These records will be destroyed in accordance with the state law unless the parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student notifies the school district otherwise. The parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student may request a copy of the records by calling the V.I.T. School District at (309)-758-5138 prior to December 1st, 2025.
Please note that records will not be mailed, but must be picked up in person. To ensure confidentiality, persons receiving the records will be required to sign a document indicating receipt of the records.
