Requests must be submitted in writing and include enough detail for records to be identified and processed appropriately. Requests may be submitted online, by email, or by mail. It is the goal of the District and the Department to comply with the provisions of Indiana Code 5-14-3 (Access to Public Records Act) for the district’s public records.  To ensure compliance with the Code and to promote full access to the district public records, the district has adopted a Public Records Policy.
