The agenda for the April 17 meeting of Rantoul City Schools #137 catalogs multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests received in March and April 2025 seeking vendor and purchase-order records across numerous fiscal years. Several requests sought overlapping documents for different fiscal-year ranges; the agenda notes that responsive documents were already provided in a March 25 response for many of the overlapping requests.
The agenda lists requesters and dates: a March 14, 2025 request from an address identified as Ad.Cuius.Bonum@proton.me asking for vendors over $500 for FYs 2004, 2014, 2024; later requests on March 21–31 asked for similar vendor information for different fiscal-year groupings. The agenda also records a March 28 request from foia@thedatabranch.com (Woo Park) for purchase-order information from January 1, 2020, to present; a recurring SmartProcure request on April 4; an April 14 request from Brian Andersen of IBEW Local 601 seeking records related to Water's Electric; and an April 15 request from Julie Dustin of Databid regarding the Northview roof bid.
