NC DPI Public Records Request Form

Please fill out the form below. Be as specific as possible with your
request as this will aid us in locating the correct records. We review
records requests in the order in which they are received. If the requested
information does not exist or if the Department of Public Instruction is
not a custodian of the records, the requestor will be notified within 5
business days. NOTE: As permissible within GS 132-6.2 (b), the NC
Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) reserves the right to charge for
public records requested that require “extensive use of information
technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance by
personnel of the agency involved.” If a request meets the aforementioned
description, the requestor will be notified in advance of the work
beginning. In these instances, NCDPI will seek to confirm if the requestor
would like to proceed given the charges will be based on the labor of the
personnel providing the services. ***Notice: Public records requests, and
responses to those requests, may also be considered public records. If you
have any questions, please email us at publicrecords@dpi.nc.gov

We do not maintain this data at the state level, therefore there are no records responsive to your request. If you reach out to individual school districts they may maintain this information, but it is not something they report to DPI. Thank you for your patience.
