By submitting this letter to the school’s FOIA Coordinator or administrative office, parents can obtain copies of books, handouts, digital curricula, and online resources planned for the academic year.

This empowers parents to make informed decisions, exercise their constitutional rights, and stay actively engaged in their child’s education while maintaining a respectful and cooperative relationship with the school.

Dear [Name]:

I am a parent of a ___ grade student at [name of school], and I am writing to get detailed information about the materials that will be taught in my child’s classroom, particularly in the area of [subject matter].

As you know, the United States Supreme Court in Mahmoud v. Taylor ruled that parents have a constitutional right to opt their children out of objectionable material that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs. In order to make an informed decision, I need to know what materials are going to be used in the coming year.

As a result, I am requesting the following information:

A list of all printed materials (books, handouts, etc.), including name, author, and publisher (if available) that will be taught in the coming year; and
A list of all digital lessons and digital teaching materials, including software and applications, to be used in the classroom, including, when available, links thereto;

Because this request is pursuant to and necessary to effectuate a well-established constitutional right, there should be no fee for this request. This information is not being sought for commercial purposes. As to form, inspection of hard copies, electronic versions, or access to a Google Drive where the materials are placed are acceptable methods of delivery.

If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

[Sender]
