(August 2023) Request for Wake County, NC Schools Board of Education: Possible 08/14/14 closed meeting minutes. And ALL Board minutes 05/01/14 – 09/01/14.

Good Afternoon Wake County, NC Schools Board of Education (Records Officer / Custodian of Records),

Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which is being made in accordance with NC Public Records Law.
Ref: https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html

** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I am NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to inspect, nor to obtain a printed copy of, these electronic records. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of these records should already exist).

I do not have any further clarifying info I wish to provide to narrow this request. If the request is unclear, or if you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of the request, then please specifically cite where a reason for its denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **

A. If such a record exists, please provide the complete meeting minutes from a Wake County Schools Board of Education “Closed meeting” held on August 14, 2014.

B. Please provide the complete meeting minutes for ALL Wake County Schools Board of Education (Open, Closed, and Other) meetings held from May 01, 2014 through September 01, 2014. A word document, PDF, or any other machine-readable format would be sufficient to provide this info to me via email. If any / all of this info is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed.

I acknowledge that some Regular meeting minutes from January through July 2014, Agendas or supporting documents through July 01, 2014, and Archived info for meetings prior to Aug 05, 2014 ... are supposed to be available online at the following URLs. However, I've reviewed all the links, and am unable to access all the records I'm now requesting, in their entirety:

** Please note that by submitting this request, I’m NOT agreeing to pay any potential fees or associated costs related to my request. If it isn’t possible to process the request without incurring fees, then please let me know the itemized potential cost and explanations for those charges upfront, and DO NOT proceed until I respond.

By Law I’m not required to provide a name or address to associate with a public records request, but in order to move things along I’d like to clarify that this request is being made by:

The request has been sent solely from the email address [email protected] . If anyone other than that email address contacts you to pursue a similar request, it did not come from me or my Team.
