Timeline:

Normally, the properly requested public records will be made available for inspection at the ESC on or before the end of the third working day during business hours after the receipt of the request. The District’s work day usually ends at 4:00 p.m. Requests received after 4:00 p.m. will be considered received the next workday. Any day(s) that the District is closed (holidays, winter/spring break, weather closures, etc.) is a non-work day and does not apply to the three (3) working days of the request. Where the proper request is broadly stated, voluminous or otherwise received under or during extraordinary circumstances as defined in § 24-72-203(3)(b), C.R.S., the District may have an additional seven (7) working days to produce the public records for inspection, the requestor will be notified within three (3) working days of the request.

No record or information requests will take priority over previously scheduled work activities and deadlines of the District.

Fees:

The Weld RE-1 School District reserves the right to charge for administrative time with each CORA request. Expansive requests, in particular, may be subject to the $41.37 per hour administrative fee allowed by state CORA statutes. The district will notify the requesting party of the administrative hours it anticipates will be required to meet the request. Work will only begin on the request after payment for the amount of anticipated administrative hours is received.

The District shall withhold records that are privileged or that are otherwise protected from disclosure by CORA or any other statute or rule of any court.

In the event a response to a specific request would require the preparation of a document which does not currently exist or the manipulation or rearrangement of data or other information from currently existing records, the District has the discretion to decline the request or to prepare the document or manipulate or rearrange such data or information for a reasonable fee.
