Copy of Request Letter
Re: Public Records Request
Dear ______________:
This is a request under the Missouri Sunshine Law, Chapter 610, Revised Statutes of Missouri, for public records maintained by your district.
I request that a copy of the following documents or that documents containing the following information be provided to me:
From the 2000–2001 academic year to the present academic year (2004-05), any and all materials pertaining to challenges of library or textbook materials, including copies of all Requests for Reconsideration of Materials. In addition, I seek copies of records related to any committees formed to review challenges and records of the outcome of such challenges.
In order to help to determine my status to assess fees, you should know that I am a representative of the news media affiliated with the Columbia Missourian, and this request is made as part of newsgathering and not for a commercial use. Thus, I request that all fees for locating and copying the records be waived. The information I obtain through this request will be used to inform the public about textbook and library book challenges in the state of Missouri.
Should any of the information contained in the records be exempt under Missouri Law, please redact that information, include a statutory reason for denial, and provide me with the rest of the records.
Should you wish to discuss this request further, please don’t hesitate to contact me at
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
