FOIA Requests

The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), MCL 15.231 – 15.246, provides for public access to certain public records, permits the charging of prescribed fees and deposits, and provides remedies and penalties for non-compliance. A person has a right to inspect, copy, or receive copies of certain requested public records. Some public records are permitted or required not to be disclosed. Oakridge Public Schools is a public body that must comply with the FOIA. The District has established procedures and guidelines, to implement the FOIA, effective July 1, 2015. For purposes of these procedures and guidelines, the terms outlined within these documents have the same meaning as defined in FOIA.  A printable copy of these procedures are available on our website (below) or a paper copy is available upon request by at the District’s Administrative Building, located at: 275 S. Wolf Lake Road, Muskegon, MI  49442.
