Superintendent Frankie Alvarado told trustees that the district has processed approximately 30 public records requests so far this school year, encompassing roughly 300,000 pages (over 30 GB). Staff proposed policy revisions and a new fee/scheduling process intended to comply with statute and reduce staff time spent responding to broad requests; legal counsel confirmed the draft is written to meet NRS requirements.
Trustees asked clarifying questions about the fee schedule and form, which staff displayed for public review. Public commenter Mino Stobson said the new form "is very helpful and clarifies the process," noting that previously there was no clear process. Counsel Ryan Russell said the policy changes are intended to align practice with NRS provisions and common guidelines for public-records requests.
