Public Notice Regarding Destruction of Special Education Records 
As a parent, how do I request student records for my child that is currently enrolled in Virginia Beach City Public Schools?
Parents of students who are under eighteen years of age (or eligible students) may obtain copies of education and/or health records directly from the school where their child is currently enrolled. There is a minimal fee to obtain student records. However, there is never a fee charged to obtain a copy of a student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP).
Requests for Special Education Records prior to 1995 should be directed to the Office of Programs for Exceptional Children located at 1413 Laskin Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23451.
As a former Virginia Beach City Public Schools’ student, how can I obtain copy of my transcript?
To request a copy of your school transcript, SAT scores, or immunization record, please be advised that your records may no longer be housed at the last Virginia Beach school attended. Generally, the elementary and middle schools keep student records a minimum of two years and a maximum of five years, whereas the high schools maintain their records for only two to three years. Former students, or parents/guardians of students who are under the age of eighteen, are required to complete, sign and date the Records Release Form for Former Students .
There is a $3.00 fee per document, and requests will be processed within 15 working days upon receipt of completed signed release and payment. Payment is by check or money order only. No credit or debit cards are accepted. Payment must accompany the Records Release Form and can be mailed to the address listed on the form. It is imperative that the information submitted is accurate and legible. Your request will stay on file with the Student Records Office for 90 days. If you have any questions regarding student records, or would like a Records Release Form mailed directly to you, please e-mail linda.links@vbschools.com or call 757.648.6160 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday.
