Business Insider public records request 2-7-2023

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Tennessee Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

All adverse actions taken against teacher licenses or certificates as reported to the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC), including but not limited to public reprimands, denials, invalidations, annulments, revocations, suspensions, and voluntary surrenders, with the nature and description of the reason for action (i.e., sexual misconduct, breach of contract, incompetence, etc.) noted alongside the full names of every teacher, from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2022.

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 7 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Kent Hoover, a citizen of Tennessee, in coordination with Insider Staff.
