Response Notes

For reference, existing written processes for handling MPIA requests submitted to HCPSS that may answer your remaining questions can be found at https://mpia.hcpss.org/. Every MPIA is an individual request that can vary widely based on the records requested, with no standard or average time spent per response. Which also means the MPIA Representative works with all personnel across the school system dependent on the nature of the request. Additional guidance/resources as used by HCPSS’ MPIA Representative can be found on Maryland’s Office of the Attorney General’s website at http://www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov/Pages/OpenGov/pia.aspx.
