To Whom It May Concern:
According to the Texas Education Agency website, the Texas State Legislature appropriated $55 million towards the K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative. This program is operating and the stated goal is "to have all eligible LEAs onboarded with a signed inter-local agreement by September 1, 2023, so the services can be distributed as soon as possible." (https://tea.texas.gov/academics/learning-support-and-programs/technology-planning/k-12-cybersecurity-initiative)
Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Documents sufficient to show all LEA's who signed an inter-local agreement for participation in the K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative.
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, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
e
