Editor’s Note: Sunshine Request makes no claim as to the veracity of any statements or information contained in any of the requests, or public records, we receive.
Editor’s Note 06/09/23: The submission above has been marked as “Completed”. As written, it is unclear what specific public record the sender would like to receive.
Please Note: If you’re hoping to receive “all salaries [for X people] as of the first day of every month, starting July 2020 – Present day” … In our experience requesting salary data, it’s unlikely that Brunswick County or Brunswick County Schools will be able to query the data in that manner (on one specific date in time, and on every month over several years). We’re happy to send in a new request, once it’s revised / resubmitted to our site, but just wanted to note that possibility for your consideration when re-writing the request.
Also of note: As it is written, it seems like the sender would like to make two separate requests, to two different entities (one for Brunswick County, NC and the other for Brunswick County, NC Schools). However, in our experience submitting similar requests for salary info in our own County… we find that it’s likely Brunswick County Gov. alone should be able to provide all of the responsive information, thereby eliminating the need for us to also contact the County School System as well. When we do send in a new request, it will be addressed just to the County.
We’d ask that the sender please submit any new request(s) to clearly indicate a specific date range and any other specific details, subject matter, message, etc. about the exact public records that are being requested.
Sunshine Request will not fulfill the following types of requests:
☀️ Requests that are incomplete, non-specific, or vague.
While we do proofread requests we receive for general spelling and clarity, we may choose not to fulfill the request if it is incomplete, or it is unclear what specific information the requester hopes to receive. In this case, the sender may rewrite and resubmit the request.
It’s the requester’s responsibility to write the request in a manner that clearly specifies a record that is being requested, and to what government entity it should be sent.
☀️ Please be specific:
It is important that what you are requesting is specific and reasonable, and is an actionable records request. Please specify the exact type of records you’d like to receive, rather than any “possible” or “potential” info that could be searched. Remember that the larger your request, the more time it usually takes to fulfill. Specificity will often help reduce the amount of time needed to process the request.
It is important that a request has a clearly written and complete Subject and Message, and also specifies the Government Entity (or entities), City and/or County, and State to which the request should be sent. If applicable, please also include any responsive timelines for the info that should be requested.
While we do proofread requests we receive for general spelling and clarity, we may choose not to fulfill the request if it is incomplete, or it is unclear what specific info the requester hopes to receive, or if it violates our policies.
