+The retention schedules are developed by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records; the internal words used by MCCCD may differ than those shown on the schedule. Look for the "type" of item rather than a specific word, i.e., instead of "official function form" consider that it is a form MCCCD uses to support a purchase and review the Finance schedule for the retention period of similar items.
