Dear Ms. Valentine:
Your Right to Know request to Reading Area Community College (RACC), dated 2-12-20 and incorporated here-in by reference, was received in my office on 2-12-20. I serve as RACC's Right to Know Officer.
As RACC has a limited number of staff available to respond to your request, we require additional time to respond to these requests as set forth in Section 902(2) of the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law and will provide a response no later than March 25, 2020. My office, as well as our Solicitor's office (as permitted by Section 902 of the Right-to-Know Law) may need to review documents to determine whether personal security would be jeopardized in responding to your request, and the records exempted from disclosure under Section 708(b)(1)(ii) of the Right-to-Know Law, or if there would be personally identifiable information which would need to be redacted or result in denial or partial denial under Section 708(b(6)(i) of the Right-to-Know Law. Additionally, RACC and/or our Solicitor's office will need to review for the purpose of advising whether redaction will be needed under Section 706 of the Right-to-Know Law. The request may be subject to other exemptions as well.
To the degree that this response contains denials or deemed denials (although we make no such judgments at this time), you have a right to appeal this determination in writing to Erik Arneson, Executive Director, Office of Open Records, 333 Market St 16th floor, Harrisburg, PA 17101. If you choose to file an appeal, you must do so within fifteen (15) business days of the mailing date of the agency's response, as outlined in Section 1101 of the Right to Know Law.
