Response

Upon receipt of a written request for access to records, the District's Open Records Officer will respond to the request within five (5) business days from the date the written request is received. The Open Records Officer will provide one of the following responses:

• grant access to the requested records;

• deny access to the requested records;

• partially grant or deny access to the requested records;

• notify the requester of the need for an extension of time to fully respond; or

• request more information from the requester to clearly identify the requested material.

Note: The District may take up to a 30-day extension to fully respond to a specific request. The extension does not require the consent of the requester.

If the Open Records Officer determines that the request will be granted, public records will be provided to the requester in the medium requested, if it exists in that medium; otherwise, it will be provided in its existing medium.

Fees

 

A fee of 10 cents per page may be charged for copies of District records. Fees may also include the actual cost of postage, when records are mailed to the requester. The District will impose an additional fee of one dollar per page for official certification of copies, if the certification is at the behest of the requester and is for the purpose of legally verifying the public records. The District may require pre-payment of estimated fees when the fees required to fulfill the request are expected to exceed $100.
