Right to Know

District

The Mount Pleasant Area School District is in compliance with the new Right to Know law enacted in Pennsylvania on January 1, 2009.  This law enables the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records to serve as a resource for citizens, public officials and members of the media in obtaining public records.

An individual or designee of a group may submit their Right to Know request by completing the approved form attached below. The District may choose to deny a request for failure to submit the proper form.

The requestor would submit it to the District's Open Records Officer.  Requestors must provide their name, address, and specific detail so the district can properly identify the information being requested.  Requests need not include an explanation of why the information is being sought or the intended use of the information unless required by law. The Board authorizes the District to deny anonymous requests for records. A request may be considered anonymous if the requester has submitted insufficient information for the District to identify if the requester is a legal resident of the United States. 

Right to Know Requests can be hand-delivered, mailed, or emailed to the District's Open Records Officer:   

Mrs. Mary Smartnick

Open Records Officer

Mount Pleasant Area School District

Requests will be reviewed and a response will be provided in accordance with the law, board policy and administrative regulations. 

If copying is required, there is a per page charge in accordance with the Fee Structure set by the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records.
