FOIA

Under the provisions of the Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), members of the public have the right to request access to certain public records maintained by Marysville Public Schools.

Before submitting your request, please review the public website and transparency pages, as much information is available there.  

Submitting a FOIA Request

FOIA requests must be submitted in writing to the District’s designated FOIA Coordinator. To ensure an efficient and timely response, requests should clearly describe the records being sought, including relevant dates, subjects, departments, or individuals involved.

Requests may be submitted by:

• Mail

• Email

• Fax

• Hand delivery

Please review the District’s FOIA Procedures and Guidelines prior to submitting your request to ensure all requirements are met.

Response Timeline

Upon receipt of a written FOIA request, Marysville Public Schools will respond within the time frame required by law. The District may:

• Grant the request

• Deny the request in whole or in part

• Issue a notice extending the response period, as permitted under FOIA

If the request is granted, the District will provide the responsive records in accordance with statutory requirements.

Fees

In accordance with the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, the District may charge allowable fees to cover labor, copying, mailing, and other permissible costs associated with processing the request. Fee estimates will be provided when required by law.

Denials and Appeals

If a request is denied in whole or in part, the District’s response will include the legal basis for the denial. Requestors have the right to appeal the decision or seek judicial review as provided under FOIA.
