ACCESS TO PUBLIC RECORDS POLICY
RISE Prep Mayoral Academy adheres to the Access to Public Records Act, R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-1, et. seq., and has instituted the following procedures for the public to obtain public records. For purposes of this policy, RISE Prep will be treated as a public body.

1. In order to ensure that you are provided with the public records you seek in an expeditious manner, we ask that you complete the Public Records Request Form below. Requests will only be fulfilled when submitted through the form below. Records prepared for public distribution means records that RISE Prep prepared for a principal reason of informing the public of RISE Prep Academies and its activities, objectives, or achievements and distributed to members of the public without being requested to do so.

2. You are not required to provide identification or the reason you seek the information, and your right to access public records will not depend upon providing identification or reasons. Providing such information, however, may assist RISE Prep in identifying the records being sought and supplying them to you.

3. Please be advised that the Access to Public Records Act allows a public body ten (10) business days to respond, which can be extended an additional twenty (20) business days for “good cause.” We appreciate your understanding and patience when we cannot immediately fulfill your request.

4. RISE Prep may charge a fee of fifteen cents ($.15) per page for copies and/or fifteen dollars ($15.00) per hour, after the first hour, for search and/or retrieval of documents. Please take note that for purposes of search and retrieval costs, multiple requests made by you within a thirty- (30-) day period will be considered one (1) request.

5. RISE Prep is not obligated to produce for inspection or copying of records that are not in its possession. Also, RISE Prep is not required to reorganize, consolidate, or compile data that it does not maintain in the form requested.

6. RISE Prep is committed to providing you with public records in an expeditious and courteous manner.
