Multiple FOIA requests filed with Lindop SD 92, including requests for contracts and legal bills tied to Cook County case

The Lindop School District 92 meeting minutes record multiple Freedom of Information Act requests presented to the district and the status of those requests. On March 31, 2026, Justin Wenig requested all purchase orders and payments for non-person/vendor entities for Jan. 1, 2025–Mar. 31, 2026; that request is recorded as satisfied. In April and May 2026, a series of requests from a person identified only as "Althea," The Data Branch Research Team and others sought emails about an external review of business office/payroll practices, executed contracts and procurement documents tied to specific vendors (Primex, Sapling, Primex resellers, Absolute Software, Incident IQ, Hazel Health, Brandon Industries, CSM Consulting, Funds for Learning), conference expense details and the names/costs of vendors for events such as Black History Month. Friends of the Great Mayor Katrina Thompson requested copies of legal bills related to Cook County case 2025 L 014908 (Dr. Janiece Jackson v. Lindop SD 92), which the minutes record as satisfied for the period indicated. Several FOIA matters remain 'in progress' or were extended as noted in the minutes.

The record lists the specific date ranges and requesters when available; some requests were extended to allow the district additional time to search and process records. The board did not take a separate substantive vote on FOIA processing during the meeting; status updates were recorded in the minutes.
