Thank you, good sir. If I had the extra cash to blow, I would have filed requests for the kids just for the hell of it. But that would have run several hundred. I think the appropriate move here is to FOIA all the school records of the kids and teachers to prove they existed. I just don't have the money for that at the moment.
Depends on the records and what the statute fee schedule is. In the case of school records, I have no idea.
The problem is they charge you for the amount of man-hours on top of the cost of sending the documents. This is a feature, not a bug of the FOIA system. It prevents average citizens from obtaining documents about their government.
Excellent dig!

How much is it to file a FOIA?
