Closed schools — card catalogue
The school is gone. The records are not.
When a college, trade school or training provider shuts its doors, the student files have to go somewhere: a successor institution, a state agency, an accreditor's office or a district registrar. We trace where the records went, who holds them now, and what a former student can still get.
A closed school is a detour, not a dead end. Most student records outlive the institution that created them.
