To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Government Records Access and Management Act, I hereby
request the following records:

1) All contracts, memorandums of understanding, data sharing agreements,
and statements of work between the district and Curriculum Associates, the
provider of i-Ready and Brigance products.

2) Academic year 2021-2022 curriculum plan documents for each grade level
describing how i-Ready and Brigance products were to be incorporated in the
classroom and/or at home. For example, schedules of which i-Ready
assessments, lessons, or benchmarks are required/recommended for each grade.

3) All district policies, guidelines, and manuals describing the use of
i-Ready and Brigance products. This should include policies for individual
users like teachers about the proper uses of the tools. It should also
include school- or district-wide policies, such as guidelines about how
i-Ready assessments should be used to assess student or teacher
performance, or how Brigance assessment results should be used to direct
students toward appropriate programs.

4) All reports, reviews, studies, or annual summary documents prepared by
district staff or Curriculum Associates since Jan. 1, 2020 regarding
i-Ready and/or Brigance product performance and effectiveness.

I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist and intend to use the
requested records solely to further the public understanding of core
government functions. I do not intend to use the records for any commercial
purpose.

In the event you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of
the fees, including the hourly wage of each employee involved and an
explanation justifying the employee hours required to fulfill the request.

Should you choose to reject this request or redact portions of it, I ask
that you provide citation and explanation of the statutory exemptions and
associated case law supporting your decision to withhold each/any portion
from public review.

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 10 business
days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Todd Feathers
