No other person, except school officials while engaged in their professional duties, shall be granted access to said file nor shall the contents thereof be divulged in any manner to any unauthorized person.

The Superintendent of Schools may remove items that are out-dated or no longer necessary to be maintained in accordance with state statutes. Items removed shall be given to the staff member from whose file the materials are removed.
