^^^The "Parents' Coalition" seems to have made a request to MCPS under the Maryland Public Information Act. As I'm sure they know, because they've made plenty of such requests, the MPIA does not mean "MCPS has to answer all of your questions for free". The MPIA means that you make a request for documents that already exist, and then MCPS has to provide them within a certain period of time, for no more than a certain fee. If the "Parents' Coalition" thinks that MCPS's fee is too high or that MCPS is taking too long, then they can complain to the Public Access Ombudsman in the Office of the Attorney General.

If you want to make your own request for records under the Maryland Public Information Act (for example, all MCPS records related to radon testing in your child's school between 2010 and the present), then start reading here: http://www.oag.state.md.us/opengov/Appendix_I.pdf

The whole Maryland Public Information Act manual is available here: http://www.oag.state.md.us/opengov/pia.htm

And the MPIA contact for MCPS is Brian K. Edwards, more information here: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/publicinfo/[/quote]

Oh please.  In no universe is over $300 a reasonable fee for mailing a damned copy.  You are being ridiculous. [/quote]
