To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Tennessee Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
I would like to request the total course completions for the Tennessee Driver Education Course (current list of providers: https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/safety/documents/Court_Ordered_Traffic_Schools.pdf), broken down by provider and year, if available, for the years 2011 through 2022
I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide in this matter.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
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 David Irons.

Good afternoon,
To date, we have not received proof of TN citizenship to accompany this request.
Tennessee Code Annotated § 10-7-503(a)(2)(A) provides the following:
“All state, county and municipal records shall, at all times during business hours, for public hospitals shall be during the business hours of their administrative offices, be open for personal inspection by any citizen of this state, and those in charge of the records shall not refuse such right of inspection to any citizen, unless otherwise provided by state law.”
[emphasis added]. See also McBurney v. Young, 133 S. Ct. 1709, 81 USLW 4276 (U.S. Supreme Court April 29, 2013). As such, your request is denied.
Please feel free to resubmit your request with TN proof.
Regards,
