The School Board, consisting of nine members, is the governing body of the District. Individual members of the School Board are elected or appointed to their office as provided by state statutes.

The main administrative office of the District is located at:

Several positions within the District constitute local public offices for purposes of the Wisconsin Public Records Law, including the following positions:

  • Seats held by individual board members

The Superintendent serves as the legal custodian of records for the District, pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 19.33(4).

Members of the public may request access to the public records that are under the supervision of the legal custodian by submitting a request to the custodian during the regular business hours of the District Services Center, which are Monday through Thursday (7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) and Friday (7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), except for holidays and such other exceptions as may be established in connection with the school calendar. A request for the District Services Center may also be submitted in writing to the address listed above.

All requests must be reasonably specific as to the subject matter of and time period covered by the request.

All requests will be processed as soon as practicable and without delay. The time it takes the custodian to respond to the request will depend on factors including the nature and extent of the request and the availability of staff and other resources necessary to process the request.

Fee Schedule Applicable To Request For Acess To Public Records

The following fees are authorized to be charged to persons who request to inspect or copy the records of a District authority, to the extent such request is submitted, or responded to, under the Wisconsin Public Records Law:

1. Hard Copies of Records:

  • (Black and White) - $0.02 per page, which represents the actual, necessary, and direct cost of reproduction of the record.

  • The District may impose a fee upon a requester for the actual time spent by District employees in locating a record, if the cost is $50.00 or more.  In calculating location costs, the District will use the applicable employee's hourly rate for salary and benefits.

  • There are no redaction costs.

  • Mailing costs are charged at the actual rate.

2. Electronic Copies of Records (includes any electronic records provided by email, PDF, DVD, flash drive, or other electronic format):

  • The District may also charge the requester for any equipment required to fill the request (such as, computer disks, DVD, flash drives, etc.) 

3. The District may require prepayment of fees if the total amount exceeds $5.00. If payment is required, the District will calculate the actual cost and charge the requester. If advance payment is required, the District will either invoice the requester for the difference between the estimate and actual cost or refund any overpayment.

Requesters shall make checks for fees payable to the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District.

No public record may be removed from the office in which it is maintained except by a Board officer or employee in the course of the performance of their duties.

Nothing in this policy shall be construed as preventing a Board member from inspecting in the performance of their official duties any record of this District, except student records and certain portions of personnel records. 

The Superintendent is authorized to develop administrative guidelines to provide for proper compliance with the intent of this policy and the public records law. Policy 8310 Public Records
