Student data retention in Paris

Paris schools mix Éducation nationale collèges/lycées with a dense international and bilingual private sector (AEFE, IB, British). RNCP/Brevet/Bac calendars are not optional for national-track campuses.

Fees in Euro for privates. Zone A/B/C holiday logic still matters for families who split time with the provinces. Local named facts include Baccalauréat, AEFE, Éducation nationale, Euro. Instrument: school record-retention practice for pupil files. Euro private tuition; extras named. Zone holidays and Bac seasons 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.
