[LM_NET] Target: parent correspondence

[Karen Walstein <mets53@COMCAST.NET>]

Hi All,
A few weeks ago I asked about guidelines for communicating with parents via 
e-mail.  Received very good advice and I posted the hit.  By supervisor was 
so impressed by your responses that she asked if you wouldn't mind 
responding to one more related question.

Apparently, email parental communication must be saved for a certain length 
of time (she mentioned that this was a federal/state requirement and I think 
she said 7 years).  How is your district handling this?  Can you shed any 
information on this topic of saving parental email communication? 
Obviously, one should be careful what is said in an email, etc... I'm not 
looking for those guidelines, but more of the nuts and bolts of saving the 
info.

Any information you can share would be most appreciated.  Of course, if 
there is any interest I will post a hit.
