Unionville-Sebewaing Area School District

The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), provides for public access to certain public records, permits the charging of prescribed fees and deposits, and provides remedies and penalties for non-compliance. A person has a right to inspect, copy, or receive copies of certain requested public records. Some public records may be withheld as permitted by certain exemptions and exclusions in the FOIA statute.

The Unionville-Sebewaing Area School District has established specific procedures and guidelines for the purpose of addressing FOIA requests received by our District.

All requests must describe the public record in sufficient detail to enable the Unionville-Sebewaing Area School District to find the requested record. A Sample Request Form is provided for review or download in the margin to the right.

How to Submit a FOIA Request to the District

Per  all individuals desiring to inspect or receive a copy of a public record shall make a written request to the FOIA Coordinator that describes the public record sufficiently to enable the FOIA Coordinator, or his/her designee, to identify and locate the public record. Thomas Cottle, Interim General Counsel, acts as the FOIA Coordinator for the district. All FOIA requests must be in writing and delivered to the FOIA Coordinator.
