NOTICE OF RIGHT TO INSPECT PUBLIC RECORDS
The Raton Public Schools (RPS) follows procedures contained in the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act (NMSA 1978, Chapter 14, Article 2). By law, under the Inspection of Public Records Act, every person has the right to inspect public records of RPS.
TO SUBMIT A REQUEST
A person desiring to inspect public records may submit a request in person to the records custodian in writing. However, the procedures and penalties prescribed by the Inspection of Public Records Act apply to written requests.
A written request must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person making the request. A request must describe the records sought in sufficient detail to enable the records custodian to identify and locate the requested records. Requests for reasons or justification on why certain actions were taken by the RPS are not proper requests under this law.

RESPONSE TO A REQUEST
The records custodian must permit inspection immediately or as soon as practicable, but no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the records custodian receives the inspection request. If inspection is not permitted within three (3) business days, the person making the request will receive a written response explaining when the records will be available for inspection or when the public body will respond to the request.
If any of the records sought are not available for public inspection, the person making the request is entitled to a written response from the records custodian explaining the reasons inspection has been denied. The written denial shall be delivered or mailed within fifteen (15) calendar days after the records custodian received the request for inspection. If the records requested are extensive, the requestor may receive a burdensome letter extending the deadline for the request.
