Comment Comment by rahimnathwani Some agencies have a different tactic: go really slowly.I sent a public records request to my local school district on March 9th 2026.They responded on 19th March 2026 saying they'd respond on in late April.Since then, every month they've sent an email with some small portion of the records, with a PDF letter saying they'll send a follow up a month later.I've received 8 of those responses so far, and there's no indication when, if ever, I will have received all the records responsive to my request. parent rahimnathwani 6 days ago
I sent a public records request to my local school district on March 9th 2026.
They responded on 19th March 2026 saying they'd respond on in late April.
Since then, every month they've sent an email with some small portion of the records, with a PDF letter saying they'll send a follow up a month later.
I've received 8 of those responses so far, and there's no indication when, if ever, I will have received all the records responsive to my request.
