Lyons School District 103 has a sample FOIA request form (Board Policy manual 2:250E1), but we do not require that this specific form be used. Letters should state that information is being sought under the Freedom of Information Act. Provide a brief description of the public records requested, being as specific as possible. While responses can be provided via e-mail, please provide a mailing address.

The Illinois Freedom of Information Act requires agencies to respond within five working days of receipt of a request. A five-day extension is allowed with written notification to the requester.

 

If the requested records are 50 pages, or less, in length, the pages will be copied and mailed to the requestor. If the records exceed 50 pages, the requester will be informed of the duplication cost.

 

Board Policy 2:250 and related Administrative Procedures and Exhibits provide additional details on the process and handling of FOIA requests.
