Public Records Requests

CLAIFORNIA PUBLIC RECORDS ACT

The California Public Records Act (CPRA) was passed by the California Legislature in 1968 for government agencies and requires that government records be disclosed to the public, upon request, unless there are privacy and/or public safety exemptions that would prevent doing so.

What is Considered a Public Record

Government Code §6252 (e) defines a public record as “any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business prepared, owned, used or retained by any state or local agency, regardless of physical form or characteristics."
 
Corning Union Elementary School District is committed to transparency and open communication with our community. In accordance with the Public Records Act, requests for records should be specific and focused to ensure an efficient search and timely response. We respectfully ask that requests reasonably identify the records being sought so that staff may promptly provide the appropriate documents.

How Do I Make a Request

Requests may be made electronically to manderson@cuesd.net or via mail at CUESD, Attn: Marcie Anderson, 1005 Hoag Street, Corning, CA  96021.
 
The district asks that requests include the following to ensure staff have enough information as possible in order to research and process your request:
  • The subject of the record.
  • A clear, concise, and specific description of the record(s) being requested.
  • The date(s) of the record(s), or a time period for your request (e.g., calendar year 2020).
  • Full names for the individuals and/or departments included in your request, including proper spelling.
  • Any additional information that helps staff identify the record(s) being requested.
  • Your contact information for a response to your request, preferably an email address.

How Long Will A Response Take?

Corning Union Elementary School District will review all public records requests promptly upon receipt. Within 10 calendar days of receiving a request, the District will notify the requester of one or more of the following:
  • The District has identified non-exempt records responsive to the request and will provide the records by a specified date.
  • The request seeks records that are exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act (PRA).
  • Additional clarification is needed in order to process the request more effectively.
  • The District does not possess records responsive to the request.
As a courtesy, the District may provide an acknowledgment of receipt, though this is not required by law. In unusual circumstances, the District may extend the response period by up to 14 additional calendar days. If an extension is necessary, the District will notify the requester and explain the reason for the extension.

Reasons a Request May Be Denied

Corning Union Elementary School District may deny a public records request if the records sought are privileged, confidential, exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act (PRA), or if no responsive records are located. If such a determination is made, the District will provide notification to the requester.
