Student data retention in Amsterdam

Amsterdam internationals (Dutch International Schools and private) sit beside Dutch national tracks. Inspection (Inspectie van het Onderwijs) language and Dutch term structure matter even when the campus teaches in English.

Fees in Euro for internationals. August/September start patterns differ from a US calendar. Diplomatic and corporate families arrive mid-year as a default. Local named facts include Inspectie van het Onderwijs, IB, Euro, Dutch national curriculum. Instrument: school record-retention practice for pupil files. Euro international tuition; extras named. Dutch holidays and study-toets weeks belong on the holiday master.

Local education and data-protection rules differ. The operational failure is keeping everything forever in an inbox, or deleting a file a board still asks for. Retention periods are jurisdiction-specific. This is not a privacy-law opinion. Appoint a school data owner. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
