deleted July 1st for staff since that is the beginning of the contract
year and new people start then. I like the idea of keeping email for
retirees...we have yet to face that situation.

Subject: Re: What to do with former faculty email accounts?
Ours are deleted on 8/1, unless the teacher requests an extension. I
assume this also goes for server access. I deactivate curriculum map
privileges around Labor Day, usually.
Don't know what happens to voicemail; assume the 8/1 deadline applies
there, too.
I am not aware of any specific rationale for the 8/1 deletion date for
email, but I guess I can sort of see the point, in general. Most
everyone
is going off to somewhere that will supply another address, and so
losing
ours would have a decluttering effect, even with automatic forwarding.
I think that in retirement I might like to retain membership in my last
school's e-community, but if and when I actually retire I may feel
differently; I know some people are eager to cut the cord at that point.
I
note that we have one retired teacher here for whom we maintain an email
account, even after 6 or 7 years, and I like that.
