Colorado Open Records Act Request

The Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) comprises laws that ensure public access to the records of government bodies at all levels in Colorado, including school districts. It does not obligate government bodies to create records that do not already exist. Clear Creek School District values transparency and encourages stakeholders to use taxpayer resources responsibly. Two key exceptions to CORA are requests for student records and portions of personnel files.
 

Student Records: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the confidentiality and release procedures of academic records, making them exempt from disclosure under CORA. For current student records, please contact your child's school directly. For former student records, please click here.
 

Personnel Files: CORA restricts public school districts from releasing certain parts of employee personnel files, including but not limited to home addresses, telephone numbers, financial information, certain employee evaluation reports, letters of reference, and other information maintained due to the employer-employee relationship.
