Good Afternoon Bethney -
Per our phone conversation yesterday afternoon, I am following up with this
email to complete the communication loop regarding your PRA request on
records for all San Mateo County Schools' results from water quality
testing. I appreciated your clarification that you were interested in the
reports, from individual school districts, related to water quality testing.
As I shared with you, the San Mateo County Office of Education does not keep
reports for individual schools or districts regarding water quality testing.
With the understanding that districts may be at different stages in water
quality testing process, one way of obtaining such reports is by contacting
the districts directly.
Thank you very much for your interest in our schools. Please let me know if
you have any additional questions.
Best,
Marco A. Chávez
