Editor’s Note 03/03/21: We received several simultaneous requests for the same information, but related to different individuals. For simplicity, and to avoid duplication of efforts, we have closed the duplicate requests and “merged” all 4 submissions into one new request.
The request we send to Rockingham County, NC Schools will read as follows:

[Editor’s Note to RCS: We acknowledge that the scope of this request is quite large, and could take a while to fulfill. If possible, please provide some indication of an approximate timeline for completion, and we will wait to follow up again until the time period you specify.
Additionally – we’d ask that for all “communications” (emails, texts, etc) type of requests, that you please provide all .pdfs, files, attachments, videos, hyperlinks, etc. that are indicated within the responsive records. For example: A .pdf that is an attachment within an email, should also be provided as a document along with the responsive emails.
Please include all of those additional documents where applicable, as relates to the requested information above.
If the records are ultimately too large to send via emailed file share, we’d ask that you please create a public Google Drive folder / link or some other file format to transfer the files. Thank you for your help!]
