To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Alabama Public Records, I hereby request the following records:
All adverse actions taken against teacher licenses or certificates as reported to the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC), including but not limited to public reprimands, denials, invalidations, annulments, revocations, suspensions, and voluntary surrenders, with the nature and description of the reason for action (i.e., sexual misconduct, breach of contract, incompetence, etc.) noted alongside the full names of every teacher, from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2022.
I would like these records in the electronic format that they are stored in, transmitted via email or other digital method; please refrain from sending paper copies of the records.
Rather than provide all responsive records at once, I ask that you provide copies of records on a rolling basis, as they become available.
If you determine that any of the information qualifies for an exemption from disclosure, I ask you to note whether the exemption is discretionary, and if so whether it is necessary in this case to exercise your discretion to withhold the information. In any event, please provide a signed notification citing the legal authorities on which you rely if you determine that any of the information is exempt and will not be disclosed.
Please waive any applicable fees; this information is being sought for reporting purposes.
Note: A delay in access to these records is tantamount to a denial of access.
Thank you for your timely attention to this matter.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.
Sincerely,
André Natta, a citizen of Alabama, in coordination with Insider Staff.
