Trust me – I’d rather not have to send a second demand for School Districts to respond to a valid Right To know. I’d rather have it a two-email process as in “Here’s the RTK” and “Here are the demanded Responsive Records.” Quick, easy, and done.
But my last email had to be sent and it did have a result.
Recap:
- Sent off the RSA 91-A demand for the Hinsdale School District / SAU92 on 3/22 for the District’s card catalog(s).
- Received their response – “look it up yourself” on 3/28
- Replied on 3/29 – you are out of compliance as “it is the lawful responsibility of the Responder to fully supply the Responsive Records and not shift that burden to a Requester” to retrieve the Responsive Records that are not covered by RSA 91-A:5 Exemptions. Lawyers write for the ‘Grok.
- Called (left vmail) and emailed Jodie Holmquist (SAU92 Business Administrator) that ghosting me won’t work – Ask your legal counsel about Clauses 7 & 8.
I’m a bit late in posting this up but here we go.

Subject RTK RequestDear Mr. Murphy,
As a further response to your RTK request for information on library books in the Hinsdale School District, I am attaching an Excel spreadsheet for each of our two libraries with the author, title and ISBN number for books. Your request for content summary in an Excel format is more difficult. Our district librarian has been in communication with Destiny in an effort to comply with your request and has learned that our system provides the content summary as an html document. I am including those links as well.
Thank you,
Jodie

Subject Re: RTK RequestJodie,
Thanks for sending these files along. I’ll review them later on today and compare them against the data elements listed in my RTK.
If your librarian needs assistance, I can help.
Thank you for the partial delivery of the Responsive Records.

So we shall see what happens.
To be continued…
