Question 7

PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS

Accepted Answer

Information requests should be made in writing to: Terrell ISD
Attn: Derrell Coleman
700 N. Catherine St. Terrell, TX 75160 ​ OR emailed to PIR@terrellisd.org  ​ Freedom of Information Requests, sometimes called Open Records requests, are handled by the TISD Legal Department on behalf of the Superintendent. One exception involves student records. Requests for student records by that student's parent or guardian may be handled directly by the principal at the school campus. Board policy permits the principal to provide one copy of the student's educational record for the parent or guardian free of charge. Any additional copies require copy charges as per Board Policy GBA. Requests for Special Education records may be submitted to the Special Services Department. If any part of a written request for student records includes information that might be deemed private under state or federal law, the written request will be forwarded to the Superintendent's Office and ultimately to the Attorney General's Office for processing. ​Terrell ISD works to meet information requests in compliance with state and federal laws. To the extent possible, requests are handled in the order they are received. By law, Terrell ISD has 10 business days to determine whether or not to seek an Attorney General's ruling regarding information that may be exempted from public disclosure.
