Knoxville Schools Transfer Student Records to Computer Disc
If you graduated from Knoxville High School any time between 1923 and 2000, you'll have a limited time to get those records if you want to.

District-202 Superintendent Larry Carlton says that's because the district has had all paper student records scanned and placed on computer discs -- something the board approved two years ago.

Carlton says that means, once the discs have been checked to make sure there aren't any problems, the paper records could then go back to the students. "The School Code indicates that if we destroy their records, we have to notify those individuals," Carlton said. "Since we have them on disc, we do not have to notify them. But with the approach that I will take, I will advertise...anyone that wants their records, may come in and get their records. I will give a cutoff date; and after that cutoff date, all those records will then be shredded."

Carlton says that advertisement will be published in local newspapers as soon as dates are determined. He says the scanning project has essentially emptied out 12 filing cabinets and turned them to five discs. Carlton says students records from 2000 until now will be dealt with at a later time.

The Knoxville School Board Wednesday night approved the hiring of a school nurse and an English teacher, and they also formally hired Larry Easton of the Champaign area as Mabel Woolsey Elementary School principal this fall, replacing the retiring Deb Galbreath, at a $65,000 salary.
