Public Information Request

Open Records Requests

Overview

The Texas Public Information Act gives the public the right to request access to government information. The Act is triggered when a person submits a request to a government body. The request must ask for records or information already in existence. The Act does not require a governmental body to create new information, to do legal or other research, to answer questions, or to explain District decisions. If the request is for student records, parents, guardians, students or their representatives may request student records from the campus where the student last attended school or our District's PEIMS department.

A person may ask to view the information, get copies of the information, or both. If a request is for copies of information, the governmental body may charge for the copies. If a request is only for an opportunity to inspect information, then usually the governmental body may not impose a charge on the requestor. However, under certain limited circumstances a governmental body may impose a charge for access to information. All charges imposed by a governmental body may be for copies or for access to information, must comply with Attorney General rules, unless another statute authorizes an agency to set its own charges.

Timelines and Deadlines

As provided by the Texas Public Information Act, Jubilee Academies will provide the requested information promptly. Depending upon the complexity of the request and volume of other pending requests, this is typically 10 business days. If the District is unable to complete your request within 10 business days, the requestor will be notified of the date the District expects to complete the request. If the request includes information that the District believes is confidential or excepted from release, the District will submit a request for an opinion to the Texas Attorney General to determine whether the requested information may be released or must be withheld.
