Your original request is also included below.<\/p>\n<p>Of those records that can be produced, the records first must be redacted of confidential information. See, O.C.G.A. \u00a7 50-18-72(b). Redaction may include the following:<br \/>\n\u00b7 Portions of the documents contain personally identifiably student information pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act 20 U.S.C. \u00a7 1232g. (\u201cFERPA\u201d), as detailed in O.C.G.A. \u00a750-18-72(a)(37).<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is a cost associated with the production of these records. The district charges for the production of records at the hourly salary of the lowest-paid full-time employee who has the necessary skill and training to search for, retrieve, copy, review, and redact the documents, less the first quarter hour. See O.C.G.A. \u00a7 50-18-71(c)(1). The labor time for the production of these records is estimated to be 333 hours. Therefore, the total cost to produce these records is estimated to be $11,045.61. Additionally, it will take approximately four to six (4-6) weeks to produce these records. (emphasis mine)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pursuant to O.C.G.A. \u00a7 50-18-71(d), the district is providing you a cost estimate to produce these records and will defer retrieval of the records until such time as you pay in full the estimated cost of record production. Please let me know if you wish for the District to proceed. If no response is received within thirty (30) days, the District will consider the request withdrawn and the cost estimate null and void.
