District reports completion of multiple FOIA requests, including requests for legal and misconduct-related records
District staff reported that multiple Freedom of Information Act requests submitted since the last regular meeting have been processed and completed.

Notable requests listed by staff included demands for contracts, engagement letters and communications involving the law firm(s) Robin Schwartz and/or Franzik (requested by Max Binnington/Judas Iacracy LLC and affiliates); materials and protocols related to investigations of alleged abuse or misconduct; records related to risk-management and liability insurance; purchase-order summaries for Bremen CHSD 228 covering 07/01/2025 through 11/30/2025; and requests for staff contact information.

Staff repeatedly stated that several of these requests "have been completed," though the transcript did not include the released documents or their contents. The FOIA report recorded requests by multiple named requestors and organizations pursuing records related to investigations and pre-litigation settlements. The board did not take separate action on these completed requests during the meeting; staff noted the requests as part of the public record and reporting to the board.

Because some FOIA requests sought litigation-related documents and investigation materials, the district will follow redaction and privilege rules where applicable when releasing records. The transcript does not include the substance of released documents nor an accounting of redactions.
