## AISD R000873 — Correspondence Reply Draft

### Summary of AISD's latest message

Austin ISD responded to the May 22 narrowed follow-up with three points:

1. **#9(b) intra-district transfers** — Refused, citing FERPA. They claim producing the data would require a document containing SII. They offered a time-and-cost estimate for programming and redactions.

2. **#4(c) statutory basis** — Claimed it is "answered" by the #4(a) and #4(b) cost estimates. No direct statutory citation provided.

3. **Close request** — Asked to close the request if I decline the #9(b) cost estimate.

### Proposed reply

The draft reply:

- Pushes back on the FERPA argument for #9(b): aggregate transfer counts by campus/school year are not SII under FERPA. Requests production of the aggregate counts, noting that redaction of the underlying source is the proper remedy if needed.
- Demands a direct statutory citation for #4(c), rejecting the cost estimates as an answer.
- Declines to close the request; items #9(b) and #4(c) remain open.
