Under the California Public Records Act (CPRA), a request can be made for public records. Please review the following information, so that we can handle your request efficiently and in a timely manner.

Public Records Requests (CPRA)

For the most efficient response, all requests for public records should be submitted via email to [email protected].

Requests may also be submitted verbally or in writing at the District Office, by phone at (951) 736-5010, or by mail at 2820 Clark Ave, Norco, CA 92860.

CNUSD is subject to the California Public Records Act. All information contained in a PRA request, including the requester’s contact information, is considered public record and may be subject to disclosure under Government Code section 7920.530.

Process and Timeline

Pursuant to Government Code section 7922.535, CNUSD will respond within 10 calendar days of receiving a public records request to indicate whether disclosable records exist and whether they will be produced. In some cases, an additional 14-day extension may be necessary, as permitted by law.

If disclosable, non-exempt records are identified, they will be made available within a reasonable timeframe. Copying fees may apply for paper records; however, there is no charge for records provided electronically.

It is important to note that the “10-day” response period and potential “14-day extension” refer only to the District’s initial determination regarding the existence and disclosure of records, not the production of all requested documents. The time required to fulfill a request varies based on the scope, volume, complexity of records, and current workload. Depending on these factors, records may be available within 48 hours or may take several weeks or months to complete.

CNUSD is committed to providing responsive records as promptly and reasonably as possible.

FERPA and Privacy Protections

In accordance with California Government Code section 7927.700 and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. §1232g; 34 CFR Part 99), certain information may be redacted to protect student privacy. This includes any personally identifiable information that could directly or indirectly identify a student.

Cybersecurity and Information Protection

Under California Government Code section 7929.210, certain records related to information security are exempt from disclosure. This exemption protects sensitive data that could reveal vulnerabilities in public agency systems and helps safeguard against cyber threats and unauthorized access to critical infrastructure.

Employee Privacy and Contact Information

In accordance with California Government Code sections 7927.700 and 7922.000, the District does not disclose employee email addresses or personal contact information. This protects employee privacy, prevents unwanted solicitation or harassment, and helps ensure staff safety and security in the workplace.
