(June 2024) Request for Jackson County, NC Schools: Number of students that will receive ESY services this summer. May through August 2024.

Good afternoon Shaneka, Teri, Angie, Cora, Dana, (or Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these Records),

Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law. https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html

Please provide the total number of all Jackson County Public School students that will receive any Extended School Year [ESY] EC services (outside of self-contained classrooms) this summer at any time from May through August 2024. I am only asking to receive a total. I am not requesting any student information.

** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to "inspect", nor to obtain a printed copy of, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of this record should already exist). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **

    Below is the information which completely fulfills this request.

     

    JCPS doesn’t give an exact number when it is fewer than 10 students as it would inadvertently identify a group in a vulnerable population.
    Currently for ESY, approximately 1% of the EC population in Jackson County Public Schools is being served.

     

    Thank you,
    Dr. Dana Ayers
