Locating Record Schedules
From Recordkeeping 101 we know that as part of completing an assessment of records using the Inventory Management Worksheet, the process also requires you to verify the records retention classification using a Record Schedule.
This section shares where to find Record Schedules using the Record Schedules List.

Disposable Records
Listed under the Record Schedule master list, you will find that DISPOSABLE RECORDS do not require to be retained. Disposable records consist of:
- Duplicate copies of materials where the original record is in the custody of the same state agency and where copies are maintained only for convenience or reference and for no other substantive purpose.
- Drafts, notes, preliminary computations and like materials prepared for the originator's personal use or prepared by the originator in the name of a person for whom the originator is working.
- Routing slips and envelopes.
Can't find what you're looking for?
If you have a business record and cannot locate a records schedule that describes it, contact the UW-Green Bay Records Officer. Your record may require the creation of a new schedule. UW-Green Bay's Records Officer will coordinate with you in filling out the Records Retention and Disposition Authorization (RDA) form and obtain the required approval signatures before submitting to the State Public Records Board for approval.
State agencies are statutorily required to provide records schedules for ALL records not already covered by an existing records schedule. By law, RDAs have to be submitted one year after each records series has been received or created. After 10 years, the RDA sunsets, and a new one must be resubmitted for Public Records Board approval. The records schedule is the key document for establishing a records management program for your department. In Wisconsin State government, the records scheduling process is accomplished by completing an RDA and submitting it to the Public Records Board (PRB) for approval. UW-Green Bay's Records Manager will coordinate with you in filling out the form and obtaining the required approval signatures.
