A parent filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Loudon County Public School District when administrators charged $36,000 to retrieve records related to possible sexual assaults.
The extravagant fee derived from the hourly rate needed to review documents, which is around $72.15, according to a school official.
"Retrieving these documents would take a half hour’s work by the supervisor of information technology at a cost of $36.08," Loudoun County Public Schools public information officer Wayde Byard said in an email reviewed by the Daily Caller. "Review of these documents – at the rate of 200 per hour – is estimated to take 500 hours."
