The question is too broad to answer and I would need more background information to answer it properly.
Generally, the withholding of retention would most likely be dictated by the contract terms and conditions. Please review your contract to determine when it should be paid. If you are a subcontractor then generally the prime contractor must pay you within ten days after he receives payment from the school district unless this is varied under your specific contract.
