Assistant Superintendent, Business Services
Soquel Union Elementary School District

Capitola, California, 95010

Dear Mr. Harley Robertson:

Under the California Public Records Act § 6250 et seq., I am requesting an opportunity to inspect and obtain copies of public records between the period of July 1^st, 2003 to present that show (1) General Ledger level data (debits, credits and corresponding memos) of all donations given to the SUESD by the nonprofit organization known as the Soquel Elementary Home & School Club, (2) the General Ledger level data (debits, credits and corresponding memos) of accounts those donations were received into, transferred to, or transferred from, and (3) any and all transactions within those accounts during the time frame specified above.

This should include but not be limited to, all donations from Soquel Elementary Home & School Club from July 1^st to present, as well as all offsetting entries on accounts those donations were made to and any other entries made to or from those same accounts from other sources. 

If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform me if the cost will exceed $100.00. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of the relationship between the non-profit organizations that donate to the Soquel Union Elementary School District’s schools and the Soquel Union Elementary School District itself. This information is not being sought for commercial purposes.

The California Public Records Act requires a response within ten business days.  If access to the records I am requesting will take longer, please contact me in writing in regards to when I might expect to be able to inspect and obtain copies of the requested records. I look forward to full compliance with the intent of the California Public Records Act by receiving access to the documents in a timely manner.

If any of this request is denied, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law.

Thank you for considering my request.

Sincerely,

Christin Hadland
