Resident says district denied several right‑to‑know requests; plans appeal to court of common pleas
Summary
A public commenter said the district denied three right‑to‑know requests that sought superintendent evaluation history, prior salary increases linked to evaluation ratings, and Title I parent meeting records; the commenter said she will appeal the denials to the Court of Common Pleas.
A Wissahickon resident told the board Jan. 27 she received denials on three right‑to‑know requests and plans to appeal the decisions to the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas.
Carmina Taylor (transcript name variant) said she filed requests seeking: (1) the superintendent’s evaluation records from prior years, (2) documentation of prior salary increases tied to evaluation ratings and (3) records of Title I parent meetings in the Shady Grove area. She said the district’s responses denied the requests, stating that records were not available or that providing them would require calculation beyond routine disclosure. Taylor said district staffmatic responses were dismissive and that she will pursue an appeal.
The district did not make a public staff response at the Jan. 27 meeting; the speaker asked the board to review the denials and the right‑to‑know office’s responses. No formal board action was recorded regarding the appeals process during the meeting.
