RECORDS INSTALLMENTS

If production of responsive records will be completed in multiple installments, please begin by producing records in the numerical order requested by subject matter and year. The most recent public records should be produced first.

PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY OF ELECTRONIC RECORDS

The use of 3rd party “portals” (Such as GOVQA or NEXTREQUEST) for communication and production of records in response to a public records request is optional for the requestor in the State of Washington. Respectfully we decline to use any 3rd party "portal" system, specifically GOVQA and NEXTREQUEST. Please provide all records electronically via direct email attachment, or via no password, no registration internet cloud-based download link.

Please do not direct or invite us to use, register for, or communicate with your agency via any 3rd party portal including but not limited to FOIAOnline, GovQA, NextRequest, FOIAExpress, JustFOIA FOIADirect, WebForm, or any other commercial 3rd party records portal service.

RCW 42.56.080 - Identifiable records—Facilities for copying—Availability of public records.

"...Agencies shall honor requests received in person during an agency's normal office hours, or by mail or email, for identifiable public records unless exempted by provisions of this chapter. No official format is required for making a records request; however, agencies may recommend that requestors submit requests using an agency provided form or web page."

This public records request is being made via email. This public records request will be honored and fulfilled by your agency via email as requested or relief will be sought per statute.

NATIVE ELECTRONIC FORMAT

Please provide all identified public records in their NATIVE electronic format. Unless the records exist IN PAPER FORM ONLY, DO NOT instead create new records by printing native stored electronic files, then scanning and re-printing these newly scanned prints only to reproduce them in again in electronic production.

FEES

In the event that there are fees, please inform us of the total charges in advance of fulfilling the request in strict compliance with all provisions of the Washington State Public Records Act.

EXEMPTION - FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)

Take caution with the broad application of redaction and withholding of identified public records claiming "global FERPA" exemptions. When an agency claims an exemption for an entire record or portion of one, it must inform the requestor of the statutory exemption and provide a brief explanation of how the exemption applies to the record or portion withheld. RCW 42.17.310(4)/42.56.210(3). The brief explanation should cite the statute the agency claims grant an exemption from disclosure. The brief explanation should provide enough information for a requestor to make a threshold determination of whether the claimed exemption is proper. Global, nonspecific claims of exemption such as "FERPA" are insufficient. One way to properly provide a brief explanation of the withheld record or redaction is for the agency to provide a withholding index. It identifies the type of record, its date and number of pages, and the author or recipient of the record (unless their identity is exempt). The withholding index should allow a requestor to make a threshold determination of whether the agency has properly invoked the exemption. There are several exceptions to the FERPA exemption and any agency silently withholding large swaths of public records citing "FERPA!" without providing the original identified record, properly redacted, or if withheld in its entirety, providing a record description and page count or record length, will be challenged in accordance with RCW 42.56.550 if a reasonably detailed withholding index or exemption log is not included.

EXEMPTION LOGS

Please ensure all redactions or exemptions claimed by your agency in the production of responsive records are accompanied by a complete and detailed exemption log noting the valid legal reason for each exemption at each redaction location in the record produced, as well as the specific number of pages if any that your agency redacts or withholds in their entirety. Each redaction should be noted by footnote or by a clear reference to the specific justification for that redaction, and only the minimal exempt portion of any record may be withheld.

COMMERCIAL PURPOSE DECLARATION

The Washington State Public Records Act prohibits the disclosure of “lists of individuals” for a commercial purpose (RCW 42.56.070(8)). I declare this public records request is not being made for any commercial purpose whatsoever. Also, this public records request is not being made for a "list of individuals." This declaration satisfies all requirements of RCW 42.56 regarding prohibitions on lists and commercial purposes. No additional commercial purpose declaration will be completed for this public records request.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. We look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

WAC 44-14-03001 - "Public record" defined.

For most public records, the act uses a three-part test to determine if a record is a "public record." The document must be: A "writing," containing information "relating to the conduct of government" or the performance of any governmental or proprietary function, "prepared, owned, used, or retained" by an agency.
(1) Writing. A "public record" can be any writing "regardless of physical form or characteristics." RCW 42.56.010(3). "Writing" is defined very broadly as: "… handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostating, photographing, and every other means of recording any form of communication or representation including, but not limited to, letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combination thereof, and all papers, maps, magnetic or paper tapes, photographic films and prints, motion picture, film and video recordings, magnetic or punched cards, discs, drums, diskettes, sound recordings, and other documents including existing data compilations from which information may be obtained or translated." RCW 42.56.010(4). An email, text, social media posting and database are therefore also "writings."
(2) Relating to the conduct of government. To be a "public record," a document must relate to the "conduct of government or the performance of any governmental or proprietary function." RCW 42.56.010(3).1 Almost all records held by an agency relate to the conduct of government.
(3) "Prepared, owned, used, or retained." A "public record" is a record "prepared, owned, used, or retained" by an agency. RCW 42.56.010(3).
A record can be "used" by an agency even if the agency does not actually possess the record. If an agency uses a record in its decision-making process it is a "public record."4 For example, if an agency considered technical specifications of a public works project and returned the specifications to the contractor in another state, the specifications would be a "public record" because the agency "used" the document in its decision-making process.5 The agency could be required to obtain the public record, unless doing so would be impossible. An agency cannot send its only copy of a public record to a third party for the sole purpose of avoiding disclosure.
Sometimes agency employees or officials may work on agency business from home computers or on other personal devices, or from nonagency accounts (such as a nonagency email account), creating and storing agency records on those devices or in those accounts. When the records are prepared, owned, used or retained within the scope of the employee's or official's employment, those records (including emails, texts and other records) were "used" by the agency and relate to the "conduct of government" so they are "public records."7 RCW 42.56.010(3). Agencies should instruct employees and officials that all public records, regardless of where they were created, should eventually be stored on agency computers. Agencies should ask employees and officials to keep agency-related documents with any retention requirements on home computers or personal devices in separate folders temporarily, until they are provided to the agency. An agency could also require an employee or official to routinely blind carbon copy ("bcc") work emails in a personal account back to an agency email account. If the agency receives a request for records that are located solely on employees' or officials' home computers or personal devices, or in personal accounts, the agency should direct the individual to search for and provide any responsive documents to the agency, and the agency should process the request as it would if the records were on the agency's computers or in agency-owned devices or accounts. The agency employee or official may be required by the agency to sign an affidavit describing the nature and extent of his or her search for and production of responsive public records located on a home computer or personal device, or in a nonagency account, and a description of personal records not provided with sufficient facts to show the records are not public records.

Good Morning:

The Richland School District received your public records request yesterday. Your e-mail listed the date of November 18, 2022 as the original date you sent it. I did not recall receiving your request. In researching your request, I have learned that the District actually received it on December 1st. The District apologizes for the late response to your request.

You have requested the following records:

1. Please provide all "Public Records" (as defined by WAC 44-14-03001) available regarding any and all internet routers, internet access points, wireless access points, "Hotspots," "Mobile Hotspots," "Cellular Hotspots," and any other physical hardware internet access devices provided by your agency (or donated on behalf of your agency) to employees, contractors, students, or the general public in the year 2022.

Also all device serial numbers, device services providers, device ip addresses, device MAC addresses, device telephone numbers, device email addresses, and any other device specific identifying and device specific location information.

Also include any usage logs for the devices, device audit logs, as well as any reports of any theft of or misuse of the access devices including complaints or allegations of online/internet misconduct, hacking, or harassment/bullying of any kind in association with the use of any of these internet access devices provided by your agency in 2022.

2. Please provide all "Public Records" (as defined by WAC 44-14-03001) available regarding any and all internet routers, internet access points, wireless access points, "Hotspots," "Mobile Hotspots," "Cellular Hotspots," and any other physical hardware internet access devices provided by your agency (or donated on behalf of your agency) to employees, contractors, students, or the general public in the year 2021.

These records should include all invoices, receipts, and costs of the access devices themselves. Also all device serial numbers, device services providers, device ip addresses, device MAC addresses, device telephone numbers, device email addresses, and any other device specific identifying and device specific location information.

Also include any usage logs for the devices, device audit logs, as well as any reports of any theft of or misuse of the access devices including complaints or allegations of online/internet misconduct, hacking, or harassment/bullying of any kind in association with the use of any of these internet access devices provided by your agency in 2021.

3. Please provide all "Public Records" (as defined by WAC 44-14-03001) available regarding any and all internet routers, internet access points, wireless access points, "Hotspots," "Mobile Hotspots," "Cellular Hotspots," and any other physical hardware internet access devices provided by your agency (or donated on behalf of your agency) to employees, contractors, students, or the general public in the year 2020.

The District has already requested the responsive records from the District’s IT Department. The District will be working with the IT Department to begin providing responsive records as soon as possible.

Your request seeks, “…any and all internet routers, internet access points, wireless access points, "Hotspots," "Mobile Hotspots," "Cellular Hotspots," and any other physical hardware internet access devices provided by your agency (or donated on behalf of your agency) to employees, contractors, students, or the general public…”

I understand “provided by your agency…to employees, contractors” to mean hotspots and other related access points provided to individuals away from the District’s property, schools, offices, worksites, etc. This would excluded those hotspots installed in the District’s brick buildings and portable classrooms and officers that are unable to access the District’s Wi-Fi. Please let me know if I am misunderstanding your request.

I estimate the District will have the first installment of responsive records to you by Wednesday, January 4, 2023. This estimate is based on the number of public records requests the District is currently answering, the fact that it is winter break and all of the schools and many of the departments are enjoying vacation time, that there are two legal holidays in the next two weeks, and that the District’s Records Specialist will be starting a planned leave in the New Year. If available before January 4th, I will provide them to you.

While I understand you do not wish to receive responsive records through a third party “portal”, the District uses GovQA to accept, track and answer all public records requests. Therefore the District will be using it to track your request. So while the District’s correspondence and responsive records will be sent to you through this e-mail address, you will also be receiving the same from GovQA.

The District apologizes for the late response to your December 1, 2022 request. The District received several records requests through Muckrock on and around that date. Your request must have been mixed with the other requests.

Beginning December 1, 2022 the District will be charging for all public records requests. Please see our policy and procedures for our fee schedule https://app.eduportal.com/documents/view/820578 and https://app.eduportal.com/documents/view/820577

Please let me know if you have any questions or if I misunderstood your request in any way.

From: Richland School District

Good Morning:

Attached please find the first installment of responsive records. This report was provided by the District’s IT Department minutes ago. It shows the list of mobile hot spots.

I have been informed by the IT Department that all of the hot spots are from T Mobile. The “SIM” is the number associated with the device. You will see for each device there is a telephone number associated with it. Also there is a unique serial number of the device as signified by the “IMEI” number. the “LINKZONEA” signifies older devices.

Good Morning:

Thank you for your e-mail. The District estimated that it would have the first installment of responsive records to you by Wednesday, January 4th. This estimate was based on the number of public records requests the District was answering, the fact that it was the District’s winter break and that all of the schools and many of the departments are enjoying vacation time, that there were two legal holidays in the next two weeks, and that the District’s Records Specialist was starting a planned leave beginning in January. Regardless, the District provided you with the first installment of the responsive records on December 20th.

Hello,

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUSTIONS:

I have been working with the District's IT Department to search for all responsive records. The District has been producing records related to its "hotspots". In researching your request with the IT Department, it was determined that there are no other physical devices that answer your request. The District has interpreted your request to be for records related to district access devices that are loaned to employees, contractors, students or the general public to access the internet. These hotspots are provided to schools and students on an as needed basis.

CORRECT.

The District does not interpret your request to include cellphones as an access device. Please let the District know if you intend to include cellphones in your request.
Also after researching your request, I have learned that there are no e-mail addresses associated with the hotspots.

NO CELLPHONES. JUST HOTSPOTS. PLEASE DOUBLECHECK ON "EMAIL ADDRESSES." Many hot spots use [PHONENUMBER]@[HOTSPOTCARRIER.COM]. HOWEVER IF THE HOTSPOTS HAVE NO EMAIL ADDRESS THAN THIS A COMPLETE RESPONSE.

Part of your request seeks usage logs. The IT Department has informed me that the District does not have any usage logs. Do you wish for the district to request the usage logs from our vendor?

YOUR DISTRICT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO SEEK OUT RECORDS IT DOES NOT POSSESS. IF THE DISTRICT HAS NO LOGS, THIS PORTION IS COMPLETE.

Your request was also requesting reports of any theft or misuses of the access devices. I have been informed by the IT Department that the District does not track misuses by the device. If there is a theft, it would have been noted on the spread sheet in the District's first installment.

UNDERSTOOD.

Thank you.

From: Richland School District

Good Afternoon:

Thank you for your e-mail yesterday answering my questions. I understand that you do not intend to include cellphones in your request. Further, the District does not loan any hotspots to contractors or the general public, so there are no responsive records to that part of your request. Yesterday, I met with the Director of IT and he has assured me that none of the District’s hotspots have an e-mail address associated with them.

Starting in November, the District began receiving several public records requests through the MuckRock portal. At the time, I did not understand that MuckRock was a portal for requestors to use to make public records requests. I wrongly believed it was an organization. Until this mistake was brought to my attention, I directed the District’s Records Clerk to prioritize the first request the District had received from MuckRock. In this way the District would answer the MuckRock requests in the order that it received them. Clearly this was an error on my part since requests from MuckRock are from different individuals and are not from the same requestor.

While your request was dated November 18, 2022, the District did not receive it until December 1st. When your request was received, it was either overlooked or incorrectly included with those the District had received in November. Either way, it was not acknowledge until December 20th and for that I apologize.

In December, the District began charging fees associated with responding to records requests. While the fees are modest, they are part of the District’s records policy. The District is uniformly applying these fees. Due to the delay in responding to your request, the District is waiving the fees. Again, I apologize for the delay in getting you all of the records that answer your records.

The District has e-mailed you all of the records that respond to your request. This concludes the District’s response to your request. If I have misunderstood your request in any way or if you have any questions, please let me know.
