PUBLIC RECORDS

All records maintained by Niles City Schools are available for public inspection and/or copying in accordance with State law. Per Niles Board of Education's Policy, you are entitled to access public records, under reasonable conditions, and to copies of those records upon payment of the fees associated with those records. Click here to view the entire policy.
 
Specific information may be needed to process your request. We may require additional information to determine if disclosure would violate certain provisions of law. State law does not require the district to provide additional information that may be related to a record but is not part of a record. In addition, the District is not required to create a new record to respond to a public records request for information if no public record is available that is responsive to the request, or to respond to requests for information when the information request is not contained in a public record. Some records may be confidential and not subject to disclosure.
