    SECTION 3
  • "Public Information" means information that is collected, assembled, or maintained under a law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by the Board or for the Board and to which the Board has a right of access. [Gov't Code 552.002(a) and GBA (Legal)]


    The District shall “promptly” produce readily available public information for inspection, duplication, or both on application by any person to the appropriate administrator or staffer. “Promptly” means as soon as possible under the circumstances, that is, within a reasonable time, without delay, not to exceed ten business days. In the event the information is stored, will require programming or manipulation of data, or otherwise is not readily available, an estimation of the time when the information will be available will be given.

  • If you are requesting copies, please indicate below whether you prefer: (a) to pick-up the information in person at the Education Support Center, located at 1301 E. Young Street, during our regular business hours; or, (b) for Longview ISD to send the information to you (postage & handling charges may apply).

  • * Please note that if copies are requested, the charge for standard-paper copies is $.10 per page. Please refer to Longview ISD policy GBA (EXHIBIT) for additional information on charges including postage & handling fees and/or to obtain information regarding charges for nonstandard copies.

  • Under the Public Information Act, some categories of records are not required to be released. Exceptions to disclosure fall into two general categories:

    1) mandatory exceptions that make information confidential and require a governmental body to withhold records, and 2) discretionary exceptions that allow but do not require a governmental body to withhold records.

    You may find information about mandatory and discretionary exceptions at:
    https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/open-government/members-public/confidential-information-under-public-information-act.

    In most instances, a governmental body is required to request a decision from the Attorney General in order to withhold records from a requestor. However, there is some information that may be withheld without requesting a decision from the AG (e.g., social security numbers).

    Additionally, in other instances, a requestor may permit a governmental body to redact records without requesting an Attorney General decision. You are not required to agree to the redaction of any records responsive to your request, but doing so may streamline the handling of your request. If you agree to redactions in this request, then you may request the redacted records in a future records request.
