The Denver Gazette: Denver Public Schools is proposing changes to its CORA policy that would allow the district to combine related open-records requests for fee purposes, raising transparency questions from advocates about how broadly and retroactively the policy could be applied.

The proposed update to the policy says: “Multiple record requests submitted from an individual or entity, related to the same or similar subject matter, will be treated as a single request for purposes of assessing applicable fees.”

It remains unclear how district staff would decide whether multiple requests under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) should be treated as involving the same subject matter.
