Michigan Freedom of Information Act Procedures and Guidelines

The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides for public access to certain public records, permits the charging of prescribed fees and deposits and provides remedies and penalties for non-compliance. A person has a right to inspect, copy or receive copies of certain requested public records. Some public records are permitted or required not to be disclosed. Fowlerville Community Schools is a public body that must comply with FOIA. Fowlerville Community Schools has established the following Procedures and Guidelines to implement FOIA. For purposes of these Procedures and Guidelines, terms have the same meaning as defined in FOIA. A complete copy of FOIA is available on the Michigan Legislature's website.
