Mission
The mission of the Records Center is to accurately maintain records and provide innovative and outstanding customer service in the retrieval of those records.
Overview
The Records Center is responsible for the retention of various historical Prince William County Public School records, inactive student educational records and the oversight of timely and confidential disposition of public records, as required by the Library of Virginia retention and disposition guidelines.
Student educational records are forwarded to the PWCS Records Center after withdrawal or graduation, for a retention period of five years. After five years, the records are purged and only long-term documents are maintained, per the requirements of General Schedule 21 of the Library of Virginia. You may request the original student educational record prior to June 1 of the processing year by contacting the Records Center.
