On January 28, 2025, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Skokie School District 73-5 in Illinois. The request was made by North Cook News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request seeks copies of all emails and memos from the past 12 months that contain the keywords “Lucy Calkins” and “Units of Study”. The requested information is intended to aid North Cook News in its mission to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public.
As members of the media, we at North Cook News believe access to public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We have therefore requested a fee waiver as part of this FOIA request.
