Public Records Act Requests

Alum Rock Union Elementary School District responds to requests for public records pursuant to the California Public Records Act (CPRA), Government Code sections 6250 et seq. If responsive records exist, they will be made available within a reasonable timeframe and following payment, if applicable.

Requests may be submitted to publicrecords@arusd.org.

Information on CPRA Requests

The District makes every effort to provide responsive records in a reasonable time. You will be notified within ten days from the date of receipt of your request whether Alum Rock Union Elementary School District:

• Has records responsive to your request and requires payment to produce copies of such records,
• Has records responsive to your request that have been determined to be exempt from disclosure and the reasons for exemption, and/or
• Requires an extension of time to determine whether it has records responsive to your request

If your request was received after business hours, during a weekend, holiday, or district recess, the next business day will be considered the date of receipt. The 10-day response period starts with the first calendar day after the date of receipt. If you have not received confirmation of receipt of your message within 10 days on the status of your request, please contact ARUSD’s District Office at 408-928-6800. You will be contacted if there are questions regarding your request.

The request must be specific and clear enough for Alum Rock Union Elementary School District to understand what record(s) are being sought. By law, Alum Rock Union Elementary School District is not required to create a record or list data from a data source if this data has not already been stored in a record, nor is the District required to supply the record in a format requested, which includes electronic or physical formats. Copies of public records will not be provided if disclosure is exempt in accordance with the law. Exempt records may include personal or confidential information.
