RE: FOIA Request for Review —2018 PAC 51228

Requester: Mr. John Kraft, Edgar County Watchdogs
Date of FOIA Request: January 4, 2018
Dear Mr. Johnson:

The Public Access Bureau has received the enclosed Request for Review of the

response by the Jasper County Community Unit School District # 1 ( School District) to a
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted by Mr. John Kraft. We have determined
that further action is warranted.

On January 4, 2018, Mr. Kraft submitted a FOIA request to the School District
seeking all e- mail addresses ending in " @jccul. org" and the names and employment positions of
all individuals associated with those e- mail addresses with the exception of students.

On January

11, 2018, the School District provided links to online staff directories. Mr. Kraft disputes the

completeness of the School District' s response.

He asserts that his request seeks not only the e-

mail addresses of administrative staff but of all individuals issued a School District e- mail
account.

As required under section 9. 5( c) of FOIA ( 5 ILCS 140/ 9. 5( c) ( West 2016)),
please provide a description of the measures that were taken to search for responsive records,

including the specific recordkeeping systems that were searched and personnel who were
consulted. In your response, please clarify whether there are additional individuals ( excluding
students) who have a School District e- mail address that are not listed in the online directories.
