Open Records Requests

Open records requests must:

• Be in alignment with district priorities.
• Be feasible in terms of demands on the time and resources of FCPS students, families, and staff.
• Not interfere with staff members’ ability and availability to complete their assigned duties when participating in outside research.
• Not violate FERPA.

FCPS accepts all open records requests via several options:

• Submit email to Custodian of Records

• Hand deliver between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays

Please include your name, mailing address, and a description of the records requested, plus your email address and phone number or other preferred means of contact.
