FOIA Fee Information

The Michigan FOIA allows for GISD to charge fees in connection with requests made for public records, except as noted or as provided for otherwise in the FOIA.

Fees include the labor cost of records search, examination, review, separation, and deletion of exempt from non-exempt information, redacting exempt information, and copying and scanning. Labor fees shall be calculated using the wage of the lowest-paid GISD employee capable of searching for, locating, and examining the requested public records. Other fees associated with a FOIA request shall include costs for duplication and mailing/shipping.
