“Texas' current retention policy has not demonstrated any evidence of improving student success. It has not materially improved our high school graduation rate, nor has retention resulted in improved academic proficiency of graduates.”
Chris Patterson
“Clearly, the retention policy suffers design flaws. If retention's purpose is to produce more academically able students, the loophole in state policy that allows large numbers of failing students to bypass retention needs to be closed. What good is retention if it doesn't help educational outcomes?”
“eBay is for memories.”
Matt Maldre
“What is represented related to the increased compliance requirements for records retention comes across as scare tactics, and it's generally being provided by those who would profit the most from organizations 'keeping everything forever,' which is a prescription for disaster for any business. While it is correct to state that more information needs to be retained than in the past and for longer periods of time, the retention of data, information and records beyond required time periods is a risk-laden practice.”
Larry Medina
“Recruitment and retention are critical to sustain our Armed Forces with the best men and women willing to stand in the gap and make huge sacrifices to ensure our freedom.”
Zack Wamp
“There were more manual steps to override previous retention periods, now it's simpler.”
Ken Steinhardt
“With immediate effect, therefore, the retention period has been reduced from the current 45 days to 30 days (one full month).”
