To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
The incident report and any investigative reports, including police narratives, produced in relation to the shooting incident at Belmont High School on 7/30/2001.
In the event that there are fees, I would request a waiver, as I am a member of the press and these records will be used in the public interest.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. 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 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Julian Wray

Hello,
This email is in response to your California Public Records Act (PRA) request. Your request will be reviewed and the appropriate departments contacted to determine if disclosable records relevant to your request exist.
As required under California Code section 7922.535(a), the Los Angeles Unified School District (District) will make a determination within 10 days as to whether or not a request is seeking records that are publicly disclosable and, if so, to provide the estimated date that the records will be made available. There is no requirement for a public agency to actually produce the records within 10 days of receiving a request, unless the requested records are readily available. Still, the District prides itself on always providing all publicly disclosable records in as timely a manner as possible.
Should you have any questions, please contact the Office of the General Counsel at (213) 241-7600.
Thank you.
PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL.
