Good Afternoon Patrick,
Thank you for your reply, and thank you for your assistance with the requests!
(Editor’s note: For the users on our website, I’d like to state here that the email thread for the request Patrick is replying to is called “Pisgah High School” https://www.sunshinerequest.com/records_request/pisgah-high-school/. He is also referencing a different (but very similar) request from another email thread on our site called “Tuscola High School” https://www.sunshinerequest.com/records_request/tuscola-high-school/).
Patrick, if you would like to continue to reply in this email chain to address both requests, that’s no problem – We will add any updates received to both requests on our site!
RE: Providing a name –
Our understanding is that NC Public Records Law does not require that an individual must provide any identifying information when making a records request. If you can please cite the portion of NC State Law or School Policy that requires this information, this would be helpful for our records. Please let us know if you’re willing to fulfill the requests, as provided.
Regarding whether we can provide additional info. or clarification related to the details of the request – We pass along the requests, as written by the requesters, and add the completed requests to our site. We do not have any additional information to provide at this time, other than what was sent in. However, if the sender does wish to clarify any portions of the request, they are welcome to do at any time so by resubmitting a new form through our website, and providing those details.
Thank you for your assistance.
Have a great day!
Sunshine Request

To Whom It May Concern:
Please be advised I am responding as attorney for the Haywood County School System. Your request regarding Tuscola and Pisgah High Schools has been forwarded to me for response. The School System is very willing to respond, but for administrative purposes, this is to request that the person or legal entity requesting please identify themselves. This will assist in determining if the request is valid and prevent responding multiple times. Second, pursuant to applicable North Carolina public records law, we assume you are requesting the athletic budgets for Pisgah and Tuscola High Schools from which the requestor may themselves determine the amount spent. We do not have documents showing sums paid by Haywood County, Town of Waynesville, Town of Canton, or athletic booster clubs in support of the identified programs. The School System is attempting to determine if records still exist back 10 years.
Please advise as soon as possible so we may promptly respond.
Sincerely,
Patrick U. Smathers

Pat,
It is my understanding that Dr. Nolte has already sent you a similar email requesting public records. This third party has made a similar request to Pisgah as well. Would you mind taking a look at this one too?
Thanks in advance,
Trevor
