disposal of student files

Hi everyone; I am curious about any regulations about disposal of student files. Can someone use a personal shredder in their office, or must you have a professional company shred your files? Are you required to keep a record of when you shredded your files? thanks Sandra

Limitations?

being someone who has had obstacles to overcome but has pushed forward to be successful I love meeting others that have done the same because it's so inspiring. Here are a couple... 1. A student who was in a wheelchair (totally no use of legs) but wanted to work in a field (collision repair) that required a lot of mobility. Not only did he get training, but he came up with great techniques that could be used to help others in the same situation and when he graduated (at the top of his class) he left school with a great job. 2. A employee who suffered from ADHD and had a spinal issue that left him in constant pain. He overcame and capitalized on what others might see as a limitation and moved up through the ranks to become a VP for the company. It's corny but true, where there's a will there's truly a way so we need to not add to any limitations but instead offer suggestions on how to overcome.
