The mission of HCS Records Management is to assure the appropriate tracking and storage of records created and maintained by the Huntsville City Schools District and to provide reference and retrieval services to district schools/offices as well as to the general public. We provide for the timely destruction of records that have reached their legal retention period and ensure the preservation of records that have been determined to hold continuing value.
