District blocked domains

Good Day,

Thank you for contacting the Risk Management's Public Records Office. Pursuant to the Public Records Act of the Sunshine Law, it provides the right of access to inspect or copy existing records which includes, but not limited to, all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, photographs, films, sound recordings, data processing software, or other material, regardless of the physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received pursuant to the law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any agency.” It does not mandate the agency to create new records in order to accommodate a request for information. If any exemptions should apply, you will be notified in writing of the citation that reflects your request.

We acknowledge that your request has been received and will be processed in the order received and as soon as possible. If any fees should apply, you will be notified immediately before proceeding with compliance of the request. Your patience is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, contact me directly and refer to tracking number 2324-00097.

Important Information - Effective 3/8/2023, if your public records request is for email correspondence, there will be a charge to search and download the records in addition to review and redaction charges.

To confirm, you are requesting the following:

Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, 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:

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 10 business days.

Pursuant to 119.0725 (2)(b)(d), Florida Statutes, the requested information is exempt s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution.

This request is now closed.

(= ^_^ =)
