Freedom of Information Requests

Any person requesting records of the Collinsville Community Unit School District No. 10 must make such a request in writing and can be presented in person or via mail delivery at the Board of Education Office at the Administration Building, 201 West Clay Street, Collinsville, Illinois. Alternately, requests may be sent via e-mail to the Freedom of Information Officer Susan Frechman at sfrechma@kahoks.org.

No fees will be charged for the first 50 pages of (black and white, letter or legal sized) copies. After the first 50 pages, the fee will be 13¢ per page and 10¢ per certificate if the copies are to be certified. The District may waive or reduce fees if the person requesting the records states the specific purpose for the request and indicates that a waiver or reduction of fees is in the public interest.

"Public Records" means all records, reports, forms, writings, letters, memoranda, books, papers, maps, photographs, microfilms, cards, tapes, recordings, electronic data processing records, electronic communications, recorded information, and all other documentary materials pertaining to the transaction of public business, regardless of physical form or characteristics, having been prepared by or for, or having been or being used by, received by, in the possession of, or under the control of any public body.

This Act provides numerous exemptions from disclosure. The District is not required to create new records to comply with requests for information.

Written notice of appeal of denial to access to public records may be made to Gary Peccola, President of the Board of Education.
