Requested Information
The purpose of this letter is to request public records in accordance with Maryland’s Public Information Act (PIA), 4-101 et seq. of the General Provisions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland.
The request is in relation to the 2017 Attendance Area Committee (AAC) convened by the Howard County Public School System Office of School Planning. The AAC is charged with proposing comprehensive school redistricting. According to the Office of School Planning (OSP) website, “AAC members are chosen from each area of the region to bring knowledge of roads and neighborhoods, but they represent the entire county.”
I request the complete application file from every application that was made for membership of the current AAC. I request these files so that, as a member of the public, I can assess the above claims by the OSP.
As the redistricting process is unfolding quickly, time is essential for this information, and in accordance with law I request the information within ten working days (October 5, 2017.) This is the second attempt to request this information, as the first has not been acknowledged or placed in the public queue within the time described on the hcpss MPIA website. Thank you for your time and rapid attention to this request.
