Records requested:
I am requesting cell phone text logs from Tuesday, November 25, 2025 between the hours of 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm from Board Member Timothy Poss. Mr. Poss was observed using a cellular device during the public session portion of the Board of Education meeting. If cell phones are being used during public meetings then cell phone text and call logs are part of the public record.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Respectfully,
Dan Staples
Mr. Staples
I discussed your OPRA request with our Board Attorney. There are no
records to provide related to Mr. Poss's texting at the board meeting. He
was not using his personal phone for school business.
Respectfully,
