Open Records Requests

The Oklahoma City Public School District (OKCPS) complies with the Oklahoma Open Records Act. OKCPS records are available for public viewing and copying, except for records that are confidential under state and federal laws.

If the requestor selects to inspect documents under the Open Records Act; the documents must be kept in the order in which they were provided. Use of writing instruments while reviewing District documents is prohibited. The requestor must designate the records to be copied with the use of paper markers, post-it notes or other non-destructive means.

The following fee schedule will be used with copying or scanning documents:

COPIES

• Printed (Not to Exceed 8.5 x 14) — $0.25 per page
• Scanned Pages — $0.10 per page
• Certified Copy — $1.00 per page
• Flash Drive — Actual Cost + $5.00
• Postage or Shipping — Actual Cost

OKCPS does not accept flash drives or other external storage devices provided by requesters in order to protect District IT systems.

For requests that OKCPS determines are for a commercial purpose or that would clearly cause excessive disruption of OKCPS’s essential functions, OKCPS may charge a reasonable fee to recover the direct cost of record search, review, redaction, and copying. Hourly rates will be billed in quarter-hour increments.

SEARCH FEE

• Clerk/Legal Assistant — $50.00 per hour
• Attorney — $80.00 per hour

A minimum search fee of $50.00 will be charged for requests for a commercial purpose or requests that are so large they would clearly cause excessive disruption of OKCPS’s essential functions. 

All fees for copies and delivery costs must be paid by check or money order before documents are provided. Payments may be made and delivered to:
