Open Records Request

  • School District 49 is open and transparent with its community. We encourage anyone seeking general information to contact the district communications team. It is the intent of District 49 to provide documents and information to the public without requiring a Colorado Opens Records Act (CORA) request.
     
    Any citizen wishing to make a more formal CORA request for information must fill out our D49 Colorado Open Records Act request form.
     
    The statute gives everyone broad access to government records throughout the state. The Colorado Open Records Act is a series of laws designed to allow the public access to the records of government agencies at all levels in Colorado, including schools districts. Most records are public and open for inspection. Two important exceptions are student records and personnel files.
     

    All open records requests must be submitted using our D49 CORA request form. Please be as specific as possible about the information you are seeking to help ensure that we are able to respond to your request accurately and in the time required by law. Please do not email CORA requests to staff, as this form helps us coordinate and expedite your request. 

    The information you are seeking may already be available on our website or elsewhere online. If you are looking for financial records, please visit our financial transparency page before submitting your request. 
     
    Other important information may be found in student, school and staff Board policies. View the District 49 Board of Education policy KDB Public's Right to Know/Access to Information and the regulation guiding its execution KDB-R Public's Right to Know/Access to Information.
