S3E1 -Quick Tips: Getting public records through FOIA requests

from Conversations at the Schoolhouse Gate

Episode Notes In this quick tip episode, learn how to access public records impacting your school community through FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests. Data your school district keeps for its own information or to report out to the state or federal government is an important resource for journalists. It can reveal patterns and statistics that belie the school’s reputation for better or for worse. It can help reveal positive or alarming trends in student discipline, achievement, attendance or safety. Students often don’t think about accessing this information, but it can help frame the most telling and informative stories at your school. This tip is based on SPRC member John Bowen's writing on our website: https://jeasprc.org/foia-requests/ Find out more at https://schoolhousegate.pinecast.co
