Transparency Test: The Records Request Runaround
from Unmuted Education Podcast Hosted by Seth Hollier, Coebie Logan, and Derek
In this stripped-down, two-host check-in, Seth and Coebie pull listeners behind the scenes of their ongoing public records fight with Natrona County School District. They break down two key requests: who authored the Barnon and Woods school closure recommendation documents (and the broader facilities recommendation), and policies tied to class waitlists and student absences—and why the lack of clear authorship and delayed responses have become a major community trust issue. Along the way, they connect the district’s “stall-and-stress” tactics to a familiar everyday experience: the exhausting runaround of dealing with a massive corporation that keeps billing you even after you’ve done everything right. The takeaway is simple: this process is designed to wear people down—but they’re not backing off. The episode closes with next steps (including the public records ombudsman route), an update for listeners, and a reminder to stay steady, document everything, and keep pushing for transparency.
