If the request is for voluminous records, the requestor will be notified of any additional length of time it may take to process the request.

Records not inspected within two weeks of notification will be returned to storage or re-filed and the requestor will be required to file a new request should he/she desire to review them.

Copying Fees

The District will charge for copies of public records or other materials requested by individuals or groups. The charge shall be based on actual costs of duplication, as determined by the Superintendent or designee and as specified in administrative regulation. In order to receive public records following an approved request, copying fees will need to be paid in full prior to document release.

Records Open to the Public

Public records include any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the District’s business prepared, owned, used or retained by the District regardless of physical form or characteristics and any records thereby created regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored.

Public access shall not be given to records listed as exempt from public disclosure in the California Public Records Act (CPRA) or other statutes.
