In accordance with the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), Manitou Springs School District is happy to assist with requests for public
records. In order to be considered a public record, it must be
maintained by the district.
Under CORA, the district has three
business days (not including the date the request is received) to make
the record available for review to the requestor. Sometimes an extension
is necessary if the requested information will take longer than three
days to complete. In this case, the requestor would be notified of the
request for an extension. If citizens wish to view the public records
without receiving a copy there is no charge. There will be a $.25 per
page charge for copying records unless the record is available
electronically. Please keep in mind not all records are available
electronically. In addition, charges may be added for the cost of
producing the requested information, up to a maximum of $30/hour, as
allowed by statute.
Some records are not open for public inspection, including student
records and portions of personnel files. For student records, please
contact your child’s school. Confidentiality of academic records is
protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and
not subject to CORA.
To request public records, complete the Request for Inspection of Public Records form and email it to [email protected]. Requests should be as detailed as possible.
