Section 126.9 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education requires that student permanent records shall be
maintained in a single file for each student for a period of not less than 20 years after the student completes the program.
A New York State school which ceases operation is required to provide for the transfer of these records to another school
or to BPSS/New York State Education Department. If the school you attended is still in operation & open, we do NOT
have your records, therefore, please contact that school, even if it has changed location (s), to get your records.
Please provide us with all the information requested below in order to make our search of the records as successful as
possible. Although we make every effort to retrieve students records of closed schools, some records were never sent,
some are incomplete, and some are not yet accessible. Please note: BPSS allows up to thirty (30) BUSINESS DAYS
processing time. We will notify you of the outcome of our search with a letter and/or email.
