Open Records

In order to constitute a written request to the Catasauqua Area School District, you must use the State Form as provided below.  If you do not include the Standard RTKL request form, it will just be a "request" which we may choose to answer, but need not. Only a proper written request must be answered and may be appealed to OOR.

"Anonymous Requests will not be accepted" - Please see District Policy  #822 - PUBLIC RECORD For More Information

The Office of Open Records is required to "develop a uniform [request] form which shall be accepted by all Commonwealth and local agencies" (Section 505(a) of the Right-to-Know Law). Pursuant to that duty, the OOR has issued a new version of the Standard Right-to-Know Law Request Form, which is available in both PDF and DOCX formats.

As required by Section 505(a) of the RTKL, all Commonwealth and local agencies must accept RTKL requests submitted on the new Standard RTKL Request Form, as well as requests submitted on previous versions of the Standard RTKL Request Form.
