11.B. We received a request from Steve Watts on October 15, 2025: Good day Mrs. Guzik, I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140/1 et seq.) to kindly request public records for all current employees at Norridge School District 80. Specifically, I’m looking for the following information:Full legal name, Job title or role, Official work email address, Assigned worksite or campus, Current annual salary. If this information is already compiled in a report or spreadsheet, I’d really appreciate receiving the most up-to-date version available. An electronic file—ideally in Excel (.xlsx) or CSV (.csv) format—would be perfect. If anything in my request needs clarification or adjustment, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m happy to work with you to make sure everything is clear and manageable. I’d also be grateful for a response within the timeframe outlined in the Illinois FOIA statute. Thanks so much for your time and help—I truly appreciate it, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards, Steve Watts |
