Public Information Request Form

For guidance regarding the Texas Public Information Act procedures adopted by the Austin Independent School District and your rights as a requestor, you may review the District’s notice required under section 552.205 of the Texas Government Code. You can find additional Texas Public Information Act resources on the Office of the Attorney General's website.

Under the Public Information Act, some categories of information do not have to be released. Exceptions to disclosure fall into two general categories: 1) mandatory exceptions that make information confidential and require a governmental body to withhold information, and 2) discretionary exceptions that allow but do not require a governmental body to withhold information. In most instances, a governmental body is required to request a decision from the Attorney General in order to withhold information from a requestor. However, a requestor may permit a governmental body to redact information without requesting an Attorney General decision. You are not required to agree to the redaction of any information responsive to your request, but doing so may streamline the handling of your request. If you agree to redactions in this request, then you may request the redacted information in a future information request.

When requesting records, documents or data, please note that the district is not required to create new information, perform legal research, or answer questions.

To request records, documents, or data, please complete this form. Required fields marked with an asterisk *
