Public Information Requests

  • The Anchorage School District is committed to the guiding principles of openness, transparency, accountability, and responsiveness through providing public access to records concerning the administration and operations of the district. Such access promotes important public policy, maintains public confidence in the fairness of governmental processes, and protects the community’s interest in the control and operation of its common school district. At the same time, the District desires to preserve the efficient administration of government and acknowledges the privacy rights of individuals whose records may be maintained by the district.  

     

    Although most activity undertaken by the schools, the district and/or the School Board are matters of public record, certain matters are not subject to disclosure in that they are confidential, or disclosure would be contrary to the public interest as defined within applicable statutes or the release of that information is prohibited by law. (AS 40.25.120, FERPA)

     

    The District will make records available for inspection and copying in the format in which they are maintained.  The District is not required to compile or summarize its records in response to a request for public records. Further, the District is not required to manipulate its data to create new records in response to a request for public records.
