From: PRA WATCH

Hello,

1. Auburn School District claims to have no records containing the name of *any* Auburn School District Public Records officers for the years 2000-2020?

2. Auburn School District claims to have no records containing the name of *any* Auburn School District employee who responded to a Public Records Request sent to the District between 2000-2020?

This seems unlikely. Please confirm Auburn School District is closing this request without producing any responsive records.

Thank you.

From: Auburn School District

Dear PRA Watch,

You initial request is stated below:

1. I request the name and date of birth of all individuals who have served as an Auburn School District Public Records Officer and the dates in which they served for the period of time January 2000 to February 2020.

2. I request the name and date of birth of all individuals who have responded to any Public Records request addressed to the Auburn School District and the date of their response for the period of time January 2000 to February 2020.

These requests do not include an identifiable record, this is an informational request.

In addition, the date of birth of employees is now protected under Senate House Bill 1888.

From: PRA WATCH

Hello.

No, to answer your question, I am clarifying a previous public records request dated 02-09-2020.

As you know the district did not respond to requests made for months until finally you replied on 05-12-2020:

“There are no documents responsive to this request. Your request appears to elicit information that is not contained in a document maintained by the District. With this email, the District closes its response to your February 9, 2020, public request request. (sic)”

Please move forward with this clarified request. Fees and installments as allowed by law are always justified. Complete exemption and redaction logs are required by law. Thank you.

*** 09-11-20 CLARIFICATION REQUEST REPEATED ***

Hello,

From: Auburn School District

In response to your request, we do not have a document that tracks who our public records officers have been, and we do not have a document that tracked who responded with the initial response letter to each public record. As part of the PRA the district is not obligated by law to create a new record to satisfy this request therefore, we consider this request closed.

Thank you,

From: PRA WATCH

Hello,

I did not request a copy of any tracking document. I requested electronic copies in .pdf form of the following:

"I request a copy of each public records request received by the Auburn School District for the period of time between January 2000 and September 2020, as well as a copy of the District's first initial response letter to each public record request the District received during this same period of time."

Thank you.

From: Auburn School District

Your initial request is stated below:

1. I request the name and date of birth of all individuals who have served as an Auburn School District Public Records Officer and the dates in which they served for the period of time January 2000 to February 2020.

2. I request the name and date of birth of all individuals who have responded to any Public Records request addressed to the Auburn School District and the date of their response for the period of time January 2000 to February 2020.

These requests do not include an identifiable record, this is an informational request.

We do not have a record that lists our Public Records Officers and their date of births from 2000-2020.

In addition, the date of birth of employees is now protected under Senate House Bill 1888.

This request has been closed.

To clarify,

Your request of "I request a copy of each public records request received by the Auburn School District for the period of time between January 2000 and September 2020, as well as a copy of the District's first initial response letter to each public record request the District received during this same period of time." Is different than your initial request. Is this a new public records request?
