New to Public Records

[gmrichard]

Good afternoon,

I am new to Public Records in Florida and I am at the 9th largest school district here. I would love to make connections especially if you are in Florida. I am trying to learn as much as I can. If there are any resources (classes that would help) you could share, I would appreciate it all! Thanks so much.

Welcome to govCommunity, gmrichard!

We're so glad you've joined us. We recently held a training event related to Public Records and some webinars. I'll see if I can grab links for you and post them back here.

@melaniepusateri - any other thoughts on this?

Best,

Hi gmrichard,

I'm so glad you have joined the public records community! I am happy to provide a few public records resources to get you started:

• FOIA 101 (this article gives a good overview of public records laws across the US)
• 14 Catalysts for Maturing Public Records Requests Processes
• Digital Tools that Agencies Need to Meet Public Record Demands
• The Public Records Complexity Benchmark Report Webinar

I'd love to hear your feedback on these materials — we are interested in continuing to develop tools that are useful to anyone just starting out in public records!
