To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Iowa Open Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
-A spreadsheet of all public high schools in the state of Iowa that offer a journalism course during the current academic year (2019-2020)
-A spreadsheet of all student-ran media groups within all public high schools in the state of Iowa. This spreadsheet should include the newspaper or news magazines with a corresponding link, if any, with its corresponding school in which it is housed.
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, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Alexa Gagosz

Good morning. We have a list of public high schools that offer journalism
classes, but the most recent data are from 2018-19 (not 2019-20). Would you
like for us to pull this for you? We do not collect lists of student-run
media groups.

Hi Staci,
Thank you for getting back to me. I would love to have the data from the 2018-19 academic year and can go without the information on the student-led media groups.
Thanks,
