Open records update

Operation: Open Records 2010 marches on!

Requests were sent yesterday to obtain the check registers for the last fiscal year to those schools who opted to reply to previous records requests via their lawyers.  We talked a little bit about this when it was revealed that Grant County Schools (a district with 5 schools) paid close to $110,000 in legal fees in fiscal year 2009.

We have already received Grant County Schools' check register.  In FY 2010, the district spent $72,000 on legal expenses.  The good news? This time, the school district didn't have their attorney respond, it was someone on staff!  Maybe, just maybe, we finally got through...
