  Good morning.

   

  I want to apologize for the lack of response. We have received your request and will work to expedite the fulfillment of the request.
  While this is no excuse, we have identified the gap in our process and are working to ensure our compliance with the Law.

   

  I will provide an update on the timeline via email by 2/26/24. This will provide time for us to pull the records and figure out how much estimated time we will need to review and redact anything necessary.

   

  Thank you.
  Jada

  Good evening Jada, Maggie, Kelly, all others CCced,

   

  I submitted the following public records request to I-S Schools on 12/14/2023 at 7:09pm, via your Public Records Requests online form:

   

  SUBJECT
  (December 2023) Request for Iredell-Statesville, NC Schools: All Superintendent communications incoming and outgoing from 01/01/23 – 12/07/23. Keyword specific.

   

  I have not received any response at all since I submitted the request. Nor have I received a reply to either of my follow up emails in the thread above on January 2nd and 30th.

   

  Under NC Public Records Law, I-S Schools is required to “promptly” process all public records requests. Essentially, this means that if you intentionally delay the fulfillment of my request by allowing it to “sit” until staff has availability to address it, or feels like answering my emails, then this could be considered a denial of a request. With this in mind, I want to highlight again the court case referenced in item #6 of the following article, posted on the NC Press Association website. In this instance: “The trial court held that an unjustified one-month delay in production of records was tantamount to a denial”. http://www.ncpress.com/stories/a-bakers-dozen-for-2022nc-public-records-law,239

   

  Having made all reasonable attempts to follow up, and having received no reply from anyone — I’m going to now mark this request as having been “Denied” by your organization. If you would like to respond to me in the future to fulfill the request, I’ll be happy to “reopen” it at that time.

   

  I would also like to suggest that I-S Schools revisit their current public records request fulfillment process to ensure that you’re in compliance with the Law, and that you fulfill and respond to all requests in a timely manner.

   

  Thank you.
