Subject: North Carolina Public Records Law Request: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools HVAC Systems

Mail

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the North Carolina Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records for the last five years:

Maintenance records
inspection reports
air quality tests related to HVAC systems
capital improvement reports district individual schools

The request is being made for the following 39 schools in the system:

Albemarle Road Elementary
Bailey Middle
Bruns Avenue Elementry
Community House Middle
Couldwood STEM Academy
Crown Point Elementary
Dorthy J. Vaughn Academy of Technology
East Mecklenburg High
Eastway Middle
Francis Bradley Middle
Garinger High
Hopewell High
Huntersville Elementary

Matthews Elementary
McAlpine Elementary
Myers Park High
North Mecklenburg High
Oakdale Elementary
Pineville Elementary
Polo Ridge Elementary
Providence High
Ranson Middle
Ridge Road Middle
River Gate Elementary
Sharon Elementary
West Mecklenburg High

As background, this request is filed as part of a journalism project looking at HVAC systems across schools in the United States, and similar requests are being filed in additional school districts.

If you have summary reports or other documents that are likely to include largely similar information and are easier to provide, I’m willing to accept those as a substitute. I can be reached at 267-442-8994 and am happy to discuss the scope of my request

According to the statute, this request should be acted upon as soon as possible, but in no event later than the third business day following receipt of this letter. If access to the records I requested is going to take longer, please contact me so we can work out a reasonable date.

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.

Sincerely,

André Natta
