FOIA is the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.  Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act 5 ILCS 140/1 et. seq, records in possession of public agencies may be accessed by the public upon written request.  The following are links / files to public documents immediately available on the SASED website and do not require a FOIA request:
How can I submit a FOIA request?  
Requests should state that information is being sought under the Freedom of Information Act.  Provide a description of the public records requested, being as specific as possible.  While responses may be provided via e-mail, you must provide a mailing address.  Individuals making a request are to identify when the request is for a commercial purpose or when requesting a fee waiver. It is the policy of SASED’s Executive Board to make its public records available for inspection during normal business hours Monday through Friday, except on holidays.  Records may be inspected and copied at SASED’s Administrative Office.  All requests for records should be submitted in writing and addressed to the FOIA Officer using one of the following methods:  
  • E-mail: [email protected]
    Phone: 217-786-3250
    Letter:  Mail request to SASED, 1420 S. 8th Street Springfield, IL 62703
  • In person:  1420 S. 8th Street Springfield, IL 62703
After the request is submitted:
The Illinois Freedom of Information Act requires agencies to respond within five working days of receipt of a request.  A five-day extension is allowed with written notification to the requester.
