FOIA Request to Georgia State Board of Education Regarding Instructional Mandates for State K-12 Schools on December 10, 2024.
The Peach Tree Times, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, has submitted a request under the Georgia Open Records Act § 50.18.70 et seq. The request specifically asks for a list of all instructional mandates for state K-12 schools, including all required courses and/or general instruction.
As members of the media, we are involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We will keep you updated as we await response from the Georgia State Board of Education regarding this request.
