seriously? you used the FOIA to get his cell phone number?

that's going over the line and abusing the FOIA, in my opinion. calling and trying to squeeze information about him while he's at work...fine, whatever, his job is to listen to you.

but doing so while he's not on the job and bothering him on his cell? wow...

If it is a taxpayer bought & paid for cell phone there should be no issue with the public having access to that number if the need arises to contact him during school business hours. The same should hold true for any other employee who has an LPS furnished cell phone.

When he never answers his office calls during the school day how else do you expect his customers to get a hold of him - yell really really loud? Nooooo - just call his taxpayer funded cell phone - that's how!

Exactly, if it's taxpayer paid for, then there is no problem with ANYONE having that number.

As others have already responded, this is NOT his private cell phone number.

Employees' personal and private information is not subject to FOIA requests. That means that the district's response to this request is an admission that this phone is public information because it's for official school business.

Your conclusion (or accusation) that obtaining the number is for the purpose of calling "while he's not on the job" or "bothering him on his cell" is unwarranted and unfair.

Now, I would agree that, generally speaking, calling directly on a cell phone would be inappropriate under normal circumstances, mainly because it's too obtrusive for the person receiving the call. However, if the district wants him to be called on his office phone then it needs to make him reasonably responsive to it. IF the reports that he isn't are true then corrective action needs to be taken, one way or another.

In your opinion.

However, the FOIA law is very specific. It's the LAW.

Also, you are trying to obscure the issue, by saying it is an abuse to obtain the cell number, and then illistrate the "abuse" this with an example of misusing the information.

I must be in the minority because I have never once had a problem reaching him. I am not minimizing anyone else's circumstance, just citing my own experience.

Every time I call, he is in a meeting, or out of the building. ;)

Why would anyone need to call Rod Hosman? Isn't he a facilities person? What issue could you have that your principal could not handle?

Hosman handles just about all of the day to day administration of the district. He may not have the title, but he acts as the deputy superintendent we do not have.

Would you prefer I ask for Dr. Liepa's?

Under what circumstances would you deem it appropriate to call the cell phone? This may be a new concept to you, but most things can be handled at the building level, and should be handled at the building level before moving on to CO admins.

i'm confused.

you say that calling him on his cell phone is an example of misusing the information...

so why bother obtaining the number? just because you can?

sorry but i don't follow your logic.

Calling on his phone is not abuse. However, you imply that it is over the line to ask for his cell number , as it will be used to harrass him when he is not working.

  • When a buss fails to show up, and all you get at transportation is a vmail.
  • When the phones go out at central office.
  • When you call his office, and he is always in a "meeting", or "on the road".

Mrs. Scheel was adamant, in her last campaign, that she wanted LPS to be as open and transparent as possible. Given that, why would anyone at LPS object to making it easier for the public to communicate with the administration?

Hmmm.... So the responsiveness of a government employee depends on the political affiliation of the caller? Am I any less a customer than a $upporter?
