Week 4/5 - Lab Project (Public Records Request)

During lab, we will make a public records request (what you request is your choice but not overly broad) from Boise State University.

This is a clinical project - do not actually send in the public record request to the university.

Please note the following:

Must be in the form of a letter (turn in the assignment as a word doc per my e-mail at the end of lab).

Must contain: 1.) date, 2.) address (your address and the address of the agency 3.) specific mention of the applicable Idaho codes 4.) delivery 5.) review 6.) specifics of the request (can't be overly broad) 7.) conclusion

Tip: check to see if the agency has a form for your public record request. If they do, enclose it as an attachment to your public record request letter. For the purposes of the lab, you need to write the letter even if a form exists to understand the semantics of the exercise (in the event a public agency does not have a form in your professional practice you will need to understand how to write the request letter).
