Requesting Public Records
Anyone can submit a request for public records through the California Public Records Act or the Freedom of Information Act, depending on which law applies. Public records range from straightforward information like an employee’s job title and hire date, to more detailed documents such as academic evaluations, bid selection processes, and email correspondence.
The California Public Records Act outlines certain types of records that cannot be disclosed. These include records that would violate an individual’s privacy, criminal records, police incident reports, and records created during attorney/client communications.
If your request involves programming or a large volume of documents, the President's Office will provide a cost estimate for your approval before proceeding. Payment must be submitted before the records are released.
