To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) A list of all website names and/or URLs that are blacklisted/blocked by the district's Securly web-filtering software.
2) A list of all website names and/or URLs that the district has manually whitelisted/allowed access to upon request through the Securly web-filtering software.
I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist and intend to use the requested records to publish articles in the public interest. In the event that you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the costs, including the hourly wages of any personnel assigned to process the request and estimates of how many hours the request will take them to process.
Should you choose to deny access to or redact records responsive to this request, I ask that you provide a detailed explanation of your reasoning--as required by law--citing the specific statutes and case law on which each decision is based.
I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Todd Feathers
From: Rockingham County Public Schools
Hi Todd-
I have received your FOIA request @ Securly black/white lists.
Our Superintendent, Dr. Oskar Scheikl, forwarded it to me.
I will do my best to respond by the 5th day - Tuesday, April 20, 2021.
I will let you know if for some reason we need the 7 day extension.
Would you please provide me with your Commonwealth of Virginia address?
Thanks,
David
