Public Records Request

This form is designed to help the public in Winter Haven and Polk County to access public records related to Cypress Junction Montessori (CJM). CJM understands that it must be accountable to our community and their right to know how funds are spent and how decisions are made.

Please complete the form to initiate your Cypress Junction Montessori Public Record Request, or you may submit any questions to PRR@cypressjunction.org.

Costs for fulfilling public records requests are as follows:

  • $.15 per single-sided copy

The actual labor cost of the personnel providing the service will be collected as permitted by state law if the request requires more than 15 minutes of clerical or supervisory assistance, including redaction services, by school personnel.

A special service charge attributable to extensive use of information technology resources and/or labor cost of the personnel completing the request may be collected as permitted by state law. An estimate of the fee that will be due and payable shall be provided to the requestor. The duplication of the requested records will commence upon payment of the estimated fee by the requestor. Any fees incurred that go over the initial estimate will need to be paid in full prior to delivery.

The charge will be reasonable and based on the cost incurred for such extensive use of information technology resources and/or the actual labor cost of the personnel providing the service, after the first fifteen (15) minutes.  The current hourly wage is $40 for CJM personnel or $35 for IT resources, including email searches.

Money for your public records request must be paid in cash or by money order only.

**Please note: In order to fulfill your request you will need to provide either an email address OR a telephone number. **

The custodian of Public Records is Teresa Hilliard.
