Communications

From: Free Eatonville

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Washington Public Records Act [Chapter 42.56 RCW] I hereby request the following records:

REQUEST FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND WRITINGS – PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST FOR ALL ELECTRONIC MAIL (E-MAIL), ELECTRONIC TEXTS, TELEPHONE COMMUNICATIONS, TELEPHONE MESSAGES, AND TELEPHONE LOGS of the following individuals for the period of time between January 1, 2018 – November 2, 2021:

Superintendent Gary Neal
Former Superintendent Krestin Bahr
Executive Assistant Debi Hamilton
Executive Assistant Bonnie Christian
Athletic Director Gavin Kralik
Business Manager Krista Heersink
Human Resources Director Kim Knight
Human Resources Coordinator Kalinda Lewis
Board Secretary Kim Henley
School Board Director Jeff Lucas
School Board Director Matt Marshall
School Board Director Paulette Gilliardi
School Board Director Roger Andrascik
School Board Director Liza Klumpar
School Board Director Ronda Litzenberger
School Board Director Kyle Perry

With respect to requests for records that include "communications," I am requesting all emails, text messages, and telephone records, regardless the type of device or account from which the communication was generated or where the device or data is stored (including personal devices such as personal cell phones, laptops, tablets, and/or computers etc. used from home to conduct public business during the COVID-19 Pandemic). Nissen v. Pierce County, 183 Wa.2d 863 (2015).

With respect to requests for records that include "Writings" per 42.56.010(4) this means handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostating, photographing, and every other means of recording any form of communication or representation including, but not limited to, letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combination thereof, and all papers, maps, magnetic or paper tapes, photographic films and prints, motion picture, film and video recordings, magnetic or punched cards, discs, drums, diskettes, sound recordings, and other documents including existing data compilations from which information may be obtained or translated.

This request specifically includes - and the District is specifically directed to obtain, preserve in native format, and produce - any records pertaining to public business that exist on any computers, hard drives, portable phones, jump drives, BlackBerries, iPhone, Kindle, IPad, or other devices, or in email, data, voice mail, or text mail accounts owned, controlled or paid for, directly or indirectly, by any agency or 3rd party.

In the event the District chooses to provide the records in installments over time I request the records to be produced in reverse chronological order - from the most recent records to the earliest.

If this request is denied in whole or part, I ask that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the PRA. I also request a detailed contemporaneous log to be provided for any document withheld or redacted.

For each responsive record the District contends is exempt from public disclosure, in whole or in part, please specifically identify the record by subject, title, author, custodian and date, and state how a specific statutory exemption applies to each record as required by RCW 42.56.210(3) and Rental Housing Ass'n v. Des Moines, 165 Wn.2d 525, 199 P.3d 393 (2009).

I request electronic production of all records in the original NATIVE electronic format for each record.

For emails I request production of emails in native MICROSOFT .pst (personal storage table) format which allows for a virtually infinite number of emails to be produced in a single digital file, providing for economy and convenience. If the .pst format is not available, I would request production of email in .pdf (portable document format) another widely accepted format for email production providing similar economy and convenience of a virtually infinite number emails bundled into a single digital .pdf file.

I request for these public records to be produced by public (no password) e-mail attachment or link. If electronic attachment or link is not possible, an alternative would be to produce responsive records via USB DRIVE or DATA CD-ROM.

THIS REQUEST IS NOT BEING MADE FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public.

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.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Free Eatonville

An interim response, stating the request is being processed.

From: Eatonville School District

Hello,

Thank you for your email. We are currently working to gather the
information required to fulfill your public records request. The district
will need additional time to complete your public records request. The
district's public records officer that works to complete the public records
requests has been unavailable and out of the office for an extended period
of time due to a family emergency. Because of this, we have determined that
additional time is needed due to the staffing shortages and the
extensive nature of this request.

We are working to provide the first installment of data of the information
requested. Once completed we will provide you with an estimation of costs
for that installment. An estimation date for the completion of the first
installment has been extended to July 29th, 2022. The additional time is
necessary because of the substantial request. Thank you for your patience
regarding this matter. It is greatly appreciated. Please let us know if
there is specific information or particular subject matter you are
searching for. Identifying search parameters may assist in the data
gathering process and lessen the time it takes to complete your records
request.

Thank you.

From: Eatonville School District

Hello,

This email is to inform you that we have not received the necessary payment
to be able to produce the first installment of PRR 2122-004 regarding your
request for ELECTRONIC MAIL (E-MAIL), ELECTRONIC TEXTS, TELEPHONE
COMMUNICATIONS, TELEPHONE MESSAGES, AND TELEPHONE LOGS from a list of
identified individuals. Additionally we did not receive any responses to
amend or adjust search parameters, as requested on the date of 3/7/2022.

Because it has been over 30 days without a response or payment made, we now
consider PRR 2122-004 to be closed as an abandoned request.
