I'd like to request files from Howard County's input to the the the Maryland Assessment and Funding working group's statewide facilities assessment (Ed. Art. §5-310).
Specifically, this request is for any files that have draft or final results of the data collection, onsite inspection, and LEA feedback phases of the inspections at Oakland Mills Middle and High Schools.

Response Notes
Responsive to this request, please find the records below that staff indicates were submitted to the IAC/State Consultant specific to Oakland Mills Middle and High School as part of the state facility assessments conducted in 2020-2021. HCPSS has made substantial efforts to ensure the accuracy of this information; however, data collection and reporting is consistently subject to change. Please be mindful when comparing data as many variances can occur between reports based on date pulled, parameters used, categories included, etc. Please note, staff indicates the majority of this assessment was conducted as an onsite visit by the State Consultant and thus did not include records supplied by HCPSS.
HCPSS must protect against the potential disclosures of personally identifiable information about students as required by both the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), which restricts access to student records, and MPIA GP § 4-313, which prevents disclosure of school district records pertaining to individual students. In accordance, HCPSS follows the Maryland State Department of Education and the National Center for Education Statistics’ guidelines for protecting student privacy in public reporting and suppresses the following from responsive records (see also specific suppression techniques contained within the responsive record): populations that fall below 10; percentages that are less than or equal to 5, or greater than or equal to 95; categories directly related to specific student records; and/or information that can reasonably identify an individual student or reveals information from an individual student’s record or could do so when combined with other publicly accessible data.
*Some request language is summarized to include the requester's
specific document requests and legally protected information (such as
personally identifiable information of a student) or personal, defamatory
and malicious content removed at the discretion of the school
system.
**Responses containing legally protected information available
only to the person of interest are omitted from the above
report.
