Meeting minutes

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Ohio Open Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

For the calendar year 2021 ending on the date you begin the collection of records

All meeting minutes for the district DEI committee(s)

As well as any DEI committees for any district subdivision such as school within the district or other sub committee

Any video (including zoom recordings), audio, document, other media, or presentation used or referenced during such a meeting

Chat transcripts, if any, from such a meeting

Financial documentation of any expenditures on behalf of a DEI committee for any purpose, to include consultants and educational products

For any text document please provide in a text searchable format and so that links or fields are not hidden.

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.

Sincerely,

In regards to the above request:

I am aware the district has an EDI task force which may have sub task forces.

A "task force" should be considered a type of committee by any reasonable definition.

The task force must have produced public records responsive to this request.

Please provide responsive public records or confirm that the task force created no responsive documents.

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.

Given the unexpected result of no responsive records, it is likely that interim work product was created but not retained.

Notably, the request includes any media (written or otherwise) created during a task force meeting in addition to minutes.

Could you provide the records retention schedule that was applied to task force work product and any available records that document destruction of records according to the records retention schedule?

This information is needed to explain the absence of responsive records, and are public records in themselves.

Thank you.

Thank you for the clarification and your help on this request.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.
