To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) An activity log showing all web domains blocked by the district's web filter (such as Securly, GoGuardian, Lightspeed Systems, Gaggle, or other CIPA-compliant filters) from Jan. 1, 2022 until the date this request is processed. The log should be provided as a .csv or .xlsx file and should include all data fields available from the district's web filter provider (e.g. the domain, the school, the reason blocked, the date) with the exception of personally identifiable fields (e.g., name, email, IP address). To assist with your search, I've included instructions for downloading blocked domain activity logs from several popular web filter providers:
Instructions for obtaining Securly blocked activity logs:

Instructions for obtaining GoGuardian blocked activity logs:

Instructions for obtaining Lightspeed Systems blocked activity logs:

2) An activity log showing all search terms blocked and/or flagged by the district's web filter from Jan. 1, 2022 until the date this request is processed. The log should be provided as a .csv or .xlsx file and should include all data fields available from the district's web filter provider (e.g. the flagged term, the school, the reason flagged, the date) with the exception of personally identifiable fields (e.g., name or IP address).
I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist and intend to use the requested records to publish articles in the public interest about the operations of a government agency. In the event you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the fees, including the hourly wage of each employee involved and an explanation of the employee hours required to fulfill the request.
Should you choose to reject this request or redact portions of responsive documents, I ask that you provide a detailed breakdown of the statutory exemptions and associated case law underlying your decision to withhold each/any portions from public review.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 15 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Todd Feathers

RE: IPRA 23 08 07 Feathers RE web
We are in receipt of your request for records.
The departments responding have replied this request has generated many
records. The volume of records they need to produce is considered to be
excessively burdensome or broad.
As a result they expect it will take months to go through the records that
could be responsive to this request.
The request will be reviewed as expeditiously as possible and a partial
release of records will be provided as the review progresses.

Hello,
Thank you very much for the update. I'm happy to discuss ways to narrow the request and make it less onerous—for example, by limiting it to web activity from a single school and a shorter timeframe.
Please let me know if you'd like to set up a time to talk.
Best,
Todd

RE: IPRA 23 08 07 Feathers RE web
Thank you for your email. Your correspondence contains many requests for
records in many formats which will involve several departments. As we are
reviewing your requests, we need to determine the appropriate departments
to contact in order to conduct a search to determine if the records exist
and are allowed by law to be inspected. We need more clarification from you
about your requests to be able to respond fully. Specifically regarding the
following items:
1)
*An activity log showing all web domains blocked by the district's web
filter (such as Securly, GoGuardian, Lightspeed Systems, Gaggle, or other
CIPA-compliant filters) from Jan. 1, 2022 until the date this request is
processed. The log should be provided as a .csv or .xlsx file and should
include all data fields available from the district's web filter provider
(e.g. the domain, the school, the reason blocked, the date) with the
exception of personally identifiable fields (e.g., name, email, IP
address). To assist with your search, I've included instructions for
downloading blocked domain activity logs from several popular web filter
providers:*
*2) An activity log showing all search terms blocked and/or flagged by the
district's web filter from Jan. 1, 2022 until the date this request is
processed. The log should be provided as a .csv or .xlsx file and should
include all data fields available from the district's web filter provider
(e.g. the flagged term, the school, the reason flagged, the date) with the
exception of personally identifiable fields (e.g., name or IP address).*
This request is overly broad and APS will need additional time to respond.
It will be helpful if you can narrow the scope of the parameters. Are you
able to narrow this request so that APS may focus their attention on
specific types of documents that you are looking for? This will help
expedite the process.

Hello,
Thank you for the update on the request. I'm not sure if you saw my last email, but I had asked whether limiting the data to a single school or a shorter timeframe would help ease the burden on your staff.
I'm happy to discuss specific ways to do this if you would like to set up a time to talk this week?
Best,
Todd
