1/27/2026	Christopher J. Ferguson	Good morning: I am writing to make a public records request for general data from the middle and high schools in your district. Note, I am only looking for general school data, not identifying student data. I am looking for data for several school years. Those are 2021-2022, 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. I am looking to separate out information by high and middle schools. I am looking the following information. For each school year, broken out by middle and high schools: Did the school have a cellphone policy and what was it (e.g., away during class, total ban in locked pouch or locker, etc.)? If there was no formal policy (i.e., left to the teacher), you can just report as “no.” How many students were in middle and high schools? How many students were suspended in middle and high schools? How many students were suspended specifically for violations of cellphone policies in middle and high schools? What were overall school GPAs in middle and high schools? How many mental health referrals were made for students in middle and high schools? How many students were seen by mental health specialists? Number of reported bullying incidents in middle and high schools. Please note that this is for a research project involving numerous districts and is not focused specifically on your district.
