Kent School District (KSD) maintains records for the schools within the district. With written authorization, the district can provide student records and other public documents.

Some records are exempt from disclosure. For more information, please review common exemptions cited with the release of public records.

If you would like to request records other than student records, you may do so by submitting your Public Records Request through KSD’s GovQA public portal.  

If you have a current records request in process, please do not resubmit your request through the portal.  

The portal will automatically upload your request to the GovQA database managed by the Public Records Office.  

Once a request for public records is received, Kent School District has five (5) business days to respond to a records request.

The District may:

• Provide the records

• Forward the records request to the appropriate department

• Acknowledge the receipt of the request and provide a timeline for delivery

• Ask for clarification

• Deny the request with a statement as to why the records are being withheld along with a citation of the appropriate RCW.
