Public Information Requests

Welcome to the Floresville ISD Public Information page. The Texas Public Information Act, Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code, provides access to public information collected or maintained by the District.

Designated Email Address

Texas Government Code § 552.234(c) states:

“A governmental body may designate one mailing address and one electronic mail address for receiving written requests for public information.”

Under § 552.234(d), when the designated addresses are published as required, the District is not required to respond to requests received outside those addresses unless submitted by hand delivery or another District-approved method.

All emailed public information requests should be sent to FISDPIA78114@fisd.us. Requests emailed only to an individual employee, administrator, or Board member do not constitute receipt at the designated address unless forwarded to and received at that address. To ensure proper receipt, please submit your request directly to the designated PIA email address.

Tips for Submitting a Request

To help the District process your request accurately and efficiently:

  • Submit your request in writing. Oral requests do not trigger obligations under the Act.

  • Provide contact information so the District can communicate with you about your request. Clearly labeling your correspondence “Public Information Request” is helpful.

  • Be specific. Describe the records you are seeking and include relevant dates, subjects, or names when possible.

  • Request existing records. The Act does not require the District to create new information, answer questions, perform legal research, or provide records on a continuing basis as they are created.

  • Separate records requests from complaints or requests for investigation. A public information request provides access to existing records. It does not initiate an investigation or require the District to investigate allegations. To report a concern or request an investigation, please contact the appropriate campus or department. If your correspondence also requests existing records, the District will process that portion under applicable law.

Charges may apply to requested information. When required by law, the District will provide an itemized written cost estimate before proceeding.
