Hi Austin ISD PIA Team:

I am not ready to close this request. Two items remain open.

Item #9(b) intra-district transfers. The request asks for aggregate counts of student transfers between campuses, organized by originating campus, receiving campus, school year, and count. This is summary data, not individually identifiable student records. FERPA protects personally identifiable information from education records. Aggregate counts that do not allow identification of individual students are not subject to FERPA restrictions. TEA publishes similar aggregate transfer data publicly through PEIMS reporting. The District can produce these counts from SIS data without exposing student identities. I decline the offer of a cost estimate at this time and request production of the aggregate transfer counts.

Item #4(c) statutory basis. My question asks for the specific Texas or federal statute requiring AISD to report per-pupil expenditure by campus. A cost estimate for producing related documents does not answer a question about statutory authority. Please provide the direct statutory citation.

I look forward to receiving responsive records on these two items.
