Public Records Requests
The Wenatchee School District adheres to the Washington State Public Records Act (RCW 42.56). This section provides the necessary information and procedures for submitting a formal request for public records. Use the resources below to access the required forms, review the district's response policies, and navigate the process for obtaining district documents.

Understanding the Cost of Records
All fees and cost details for fulfilling public records requests are outlined in the 4040P Procedure - Public Access to District Records (available in English and Spanish).

 

Key Costs
1. Ten cents per page for public records scanned into an electronic format or for the use of district equipment to scan the records;
2. Five cents per each four electronic files or attachment uploaded to email, cloud-based data storage service, or other means of electronic delivery;
3. Ten cents per gigabyte for the transmission of public records in an electronic format or for the use of district equipment to send the records electronically; and
4. The actual cost of any digital storage media or device provided by the district, the actual cost of any container or envelope used to mail the copies to the requestor, and the actual postage or delivery charge.

The Cost of Printed Copies and Mailing

The cost of providing photocopies or printed copies of electronic records is fifteen cents per page. Alternatively, if the district determines and documents that the fees allowed under this procedure are clearly equal to, or more than, two dollars, the district may instead charge a flat fee of two dollars to provide the records. If the district charges a flat fee for the first installment, the district will not charge an additional flat fee or a per page fee for any subsequent installments. Payment may be made by cash, check, or money order payable to the district. 

The district may also charge actual costs of mailing, including the cost of the shipping container or envelope.
