Public Records Request

It is the policy of the Centralia School District to make all identifiable public records available to the public, with certain exceptions and exemptions as outlined by state law.  We will respond to all requests for public records as per state law (RCW 42.56) and in accordance with Centralia School District policies 4040 and 4040P.  Requesting parties should be familiar with these policies.

On February 17, 2016, the Centralia School Board passed resolution 2016-01, Public Records Requests, that states the CSD will not maintain a current index of all the district's records and that a copy of this resolution will be made available when requested. To view this resolution, click here. 

Please note, the Centralia School District follows the records retention schedule for school districts outlined by the Washington Secretary of State.
