District blocked domains

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Right to Know Act, I hereby request the following records:

1) An activity log showing all web domains blocked by the district's web filter (such as Securly, GoGuardian, Lightspeed Systems, Gaggle, or other CIPA-compliant filters) from Jan. 1, 2022 until the date this request is processed. The log should be provided as a .csv or .xlsx file and should include all data fields available from the district's web filter provider (e.g. the domain, the school, the reason blocked, the date) with the exception of personally identifiable fields (e.g., name, email, IP address). To assist with your search, I've included instructions for downloading blocked domain activity logs from several popular web filter providers:

2) An activity log showing all search terms blocked and/or flagged by the district's web filter from Jan. 1, 2022 until the date this request is processed. The log should be provided as a .csv or .xlsx file and should include all data fields available from the district's web filter provider (e.g. the flagged term, the school, the reason flagged, the date) with the exception of personally identifiable fields (e.g., name or IP address).

I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist and intend to use the requested records to publish articles in the public interest about the operations of a government agency. In the event you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the fees, including the hourly wage of each employee involved and an explanation of the employee hours required to fulfill the request.

Should you choose to reject this request or redact portions of responsive documents, I ask that you provide a detailed breakdown of the statutory exemptions and associated case law underlying your decision to withhold each/any portions from public review.

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 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Todd Feathers

Hi Kristina,

Thank you again for talking through the request with me today!

As we discussed, I'd like to modify my request to the following:

1) An activity log(s) showing all web domains and searches blocked by the district's GoGuardian web filter (for students) from Jan. 1, 2022 (or as far back as the district's web filter provider allows) until the date this request is processed. The log(s) should be provided as a .csv or .xlsx file and should include all data fields available from the district's web filter provider (e.g. the domain, the school, the reason blocked, the date) with the exception of personally identifiable fields (e.g., name, email, IP address). To assist with your search, I've included instructions for downloading blocked domain activity logs from several popular web filter providers:

Appreciate the help, and let me know if there's anything else you need.

Todd
