Re: Freedom of Information Act Request

Dear

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act 5 U.S.C. § 552, The Sunshine Act (Ohio Revised Code Section (RC) 121.22) and the Public Records Act (RC 149.43). I request that a photocopy of the following documents be provided to me:

• A Photocopy of your public official Public Official Surety bond as referenced in Ohio State revised code Section 9.822
• A photocopy of the governing board of education blanket surety bond if your board requires the members to be bonded under a blanket bond.
• A photocopy of your Dishonesty or Faithful Performance of Duty in Lieu of a bond Section 3.061
• A photocopy of the governing board of education blanket surety bond if your board requires the members to be bonded under a blanket bond.
• A photocopy of your Errors & Omissions (E&O), a Surety Liability Insurance policy, and the Duty of Care policy if applicable.
• A photocopy of your school board General Obligation Bonds if applicable.
• A photocopy of your general long term bond for the school board if applicable.
• A photocopy of your school board Crime Policy if applicable.
• A photocopy of your Risk Management Policy if applicable.
• A photocopy of the following documents if applicable:
  • ACORD 125
  • ACORD 126
  • ACORD 127
  • ACORD 128
  • The documents should indicate the policy number and the insured amount of the policy.
• Certificate of Liability if applicable.
• Public Officials and/or any other bonds pertaining to proof of liability and policies. **Based on any and all loses of financial responsibility due to negligence or dishonesty. Any and all based on the contract of terms and conditions.
• A faithful Performance Bond if applicable.
• A Fidelity Bond if applicable.
• A Public Employee Dishonesty Policy if applicable.
• A Public Employee Blanket Bond if applicable.
• A Statutory Bond if applicable.
• A photocopy of the power of attorney for the surety bond company.
• A photo copy of the Blanket Bond power of attorney for the surety bond company if applicable.
• A photocopy of your oath of office.

I am a private citizen seeking information concerning your public official surety bond, or the Errors & Omissions (E&O), and or the Duty of Care policy that you are required by the state of Ohio to obtain before swearing the oath of office.

Dishonesty or Faithful Performance of Duty in Lieu of a bond Section 3.061 (2) “Employee dishonesty and faithful performance of duty policy” means a policy of insurance, or a coverage document issued by a joint self-insurance pool authorized under section 2744.081 of the Revised Code, to protect against losses that would otherwise be protected against under a surety bond and to protect against other losses as determined by the political subdivision.

Public Official Surety Bond requests fall under the Freedom of Information Act 5 U.S.C. § 552, The Sunshine Act (Ohio Revised Code Section (RC) 121.22) and the Public Records Act (RC 149.43) and by law you are obligated to supply me with this information.

It is public knowledge in the State of Ohio that all school boards in the state and the superintendents are required to be bonded, carry a surety liability insurance policy, an Errors & Omissions, or a Duty of Care policy.

You are required to follow the Ohio state code of ethics, referenced in Section 102.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,
