Source
The Rema writes in Siman 154, paragraph 6: "The parochet that we hang in front of the ark does not have the sanctity of the ark, only the sanctity of the synagogue"; and the Mishnah Berurah writes in Siman 154, Subparagraph 11, that it has the status of an accessory of sanctity, and accessories of sanctity are stored in a genizah, but accessories of accessories of sanctity, as the Pri Megadim writes in Siman 154, do not need to be stored in a genizah.
