Midwestern Intermediate Unit IV’s physical location is closed consistent with the Governor’s Emergency Declaration issued in response to the coronavirus pandemic. During this mandated closure, MIU IV may not be able to respond to requests for public records under the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law (RTKL). The Office of Open Records (OOR) has advised that when a public entity is closed, that day is not a “business day” and does not count toward the five business days referenced in Section 901 of the RTKL, which governs the time period under which an agency must respond to a request. Consequently, MIU IV will process requests once it reopens; therefore, unless you have an urgent need to access public records, please do not file any new RTKL requests at this time. If submitting a request is necessary, please seek copies of records (preferably electronic) rather than in-person inspection. In-person inspection of records will not be possible during the current closure. Thank you for your understanding.
