From: Allan Liska

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Maine Freedom of Access Act, I hereby request the following records:

A list of all schools or school districts in Texas that have been victims of ransomware attacks in 2021 through July 31st. If possible, I'd like the school/district name, date of attack and the ransomware strain involved.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by 1 M.R.S.A. § 408(6). The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

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 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Allan Liska

Hello Mr. Liska,

To clarify, did you mean Maine schools or school districts rather than “Texas schools or school districts”?

Ms Paling,

My apologies, I did mean Maine school districts. I was too fast with my cloning of requests, please excuse the error.

Hello Mr. Liska,

The Maine Department of Education does not have any records responsive to your request. You could check with local schools<https://neo.maine.gov/DOE/neo/Supersearch/ContactSearch/SearchForMaineSchools> individually to ask for this information directly from them.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Thank you,
