Recordkeeping Note
Retention period is meant to ensure that records are kept until any minor participating in a Western program has reached the age of 18 plus an additional 6 years. This records series is based on the Contracts and Agreements records series, which governs the hold harmless agreements. Other documentation included in this records series is considered supporting documentation for this hold harmless agreement.
