What Happens Next

You will receive a confirmation email that we have received your public records request form. The Superintendent's Office will determine what records exist that are responsive to your request and determine whether is is necessary to charge to collect them and review for confidential information.

In accordance with state law, you will be provided an estimate of the time needed to respond and a written cost estimate (if warranted), no later than five business days after receiving your request.

Most requests can be completed in a matter of days, but more complex requests can take several weeks, or in some cases, even longer. If it will take longer than fifteen working days to complete your request and provide records, you will be notified and you will receive regular updates.
