(March 2024) Multi-part request for Franklin County, NC Schools: List of all current employees, salaries, and any pay differentials. As of the present day.

Good evening Dawayne, Michael, Quinnley (or Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these records),

Please reply promptly to the following multi-part public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law. https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html

The type of basic salary data I’m requesting is simple to provide, is very commonly produced, and is widely considered a matter of public record as part of the public personnel file of school employees. Many NC school systems fulfill requests like this via email in 1 week, and in many cases 1 day. You have also fulfilled this request for me before.

A1. Please provide the names and salaries of all current Employees / Staff / Faculty working at Franklin County, NC Schools as of the present day [on the date the query is performed]. Please include the following:

1) Employee first / last name
2) Date of hire
3) Position / title / department
4) Salary [including hourly wage, hourly rate, or salary -- whichever payment structure is applicable to the employee]

A2. For each employee, please also provide any pay differentials that employee receives.

Ideally, I’d like to receive the responsive records in an Excel or other machine-readable format. If any / all of this info is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed.

** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to "inspect", nor to obtain a printed copy of, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of this record already exists). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **
————————————

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 clear explanations of 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:

Sunshine Request
PO Box 17391
Asheville, NC 28816

The request has been sent solely by me and my email address [email protected] . If anyone other than that email address contacts you to pursue a similar request, it did not come from me. Please do not commingle or treat that as an alteration or cancellation of my request – I intend to continue to pursue my request.

Thank you for your assistance!

    Hi Quinnley,

     

    Thanks for your message.

     

    As stated in my previous email — I have “resubmitted” my request through your public records request form, as instructed by Dawayne. I did so last evening at 5:33pm. (screenshot attached)

     

    If I do not receive a response to that submission in the next week, I will follow up again.

     

    Thank you.

    Good Morning Sunshine Request,
    The internal process of approval for data sharing requires your submittal of your request through our Director of Communications.
    This streamlines the process and allows Mr. Mcintosh to make contact with the appropriate staff members to fulfill your request if we are indeed able to do so. As you can see, you have copied 4 staff members on this email requesting information that IF properly assigned, 1 person can accommodate. We do not have the staffing resources nor the time to allow 4 employees to work on the same project.
    Upon receipt of your request through the proper channels, we will review, assign the responsibility and respond accordingly. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or concerns about this response.

    Hi Dawayne,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

     

    I do not believe that by Law it is necessary for me to “resubmit” the request using that form (particularly because it was already submitted directly to the custodian(s) of these records), in order for you to process it.

     

    However, as a courtesy and in order to move things along without delay — I have resubmitted my request again as of 5:33pm today, using the form at the link you’ve provided.

     

    Thank you for your help!
